Dear Daytonian,
One benefit of our four weather seasons, and particularly some of our really cold winter nights, is the relative lack of bugs. Sure, we're swatting at flies and lighting citronella candles at the worst of times, or being a kid again and chasing lightning bugs around the yard. But compared to some "nice to live" areas like parts of the southeast and southwest United States, we get off pretty easy. When you have regularly scheduled aerial bug bomb attacks to keep the hoards somewhat under control, like detailed for San Diego at the link below, you can just imagine how much worse these areas can be.

The Dayton Metropolitan area totals around 800,000 residents and being that large brings along most of the amenities of the larger cities, but without most of the hassles they live with daily. Combined with Midwest sensibilities, life here is easy, but if you're a Daytonian that doesn't get around much, you might not know how weird things can get out there. If you live elsewhere, you might not realize how comfortable and affordable life in Dayton is. That's the purpose of this weekly blog.
