Yeah, my sentiment excactly.
I mean, I can understand the fact that it is not a necessity to have 
storm doors/window for cold, but how the heck do you keep bugs out?
I remember in Italy that they had shutters on the houses and hotels 
we stayed at (we're talking, some really OLD structures there), and 
in extreme heat, the shutters also helped to keep that out too.  But 
I guess the bugs aren't that big a deal.  Or are they?

Anna  . . .(who also had an infestation of orange lady bugs on my 
front screen {storm} door the other day; and, who actually heard a 
story on the local news about an increased amount of "stink-bugs": 
these god-awful looking creatures that apparently STINK when you 
crush them.  EEEEWWWW!!)
