We lived in high desert and never saw a scorpian thank goodness. Hate creepy crawlies. Anyway one day we had a appraiser come to the house, he must of been in his late 20's, The next thing I see is this guys jumping about 3 feet in the air a taking off. When he stopped he looked like he going to have a heart attack and was white and pale and breathing hard Of course that scared me to death. I had forgotten to mention the rubber snakes we had in the yard to keep the birds away so our cats wouldn't get them. At least thinking about it now we can laugh. He took it pretty well but boy did I feel bad for him.
