OMG I forgot.


On Monday (Memorial Day) we saw the biggest snake cross the road.

A rattlesnake.

PETA will not be happy about what happened to that snake.

WB ran over it.

Four times.

I think he even backed over it once.

The first time he skidded over it because, "Mr. ____ told me to skid over them otherwise you might just stun them."

I'm not kidding.

Then?

He came back home and bushhogged around the dog pens and the storage building.

Why?

Because last fall my neighbor killed a huge rattlesnake that was apparently living under the very small pile of logs next to the dog pen. I am talking VERY SMALL and RIGHT NEXT to my fur babies. As in within 2 feet of my fur babies. It was HUGE.

Anyway our neighbor said that maybe we should move the logs and keep the grass very short around the dog pen.

And then we saw this one on Monday.

So WB ran over it.

Again and again and again and again.

And he was sober.

According to him if someone from the sherriff's department had seen him do this? They'd probably said good job and then shot it.

And then run over it with the sherriff's car.

Again and again and again.

And then he and the sherriff's deputy would holler in unison, "The only good rattlesnake is a dead one so if you're a rattlesnake living in those woods you better get out or we'll run you over, shoot you, and then run over you again. And then we'll skin your ass and use you as a hatband."

I kid you not.
It was kind of funny but I'm pretty sure it was very politically incorrect and that PETA would hate it.

No we weren't drinking.

Yes this really did happen.

And yes we did say things like:

"Did I get it?" WB
"Dunno' back up and let's see." Me
"Aw heck no. It might be sitll alive. Those things can jump up and--" WB
"No they can't." Me
:"Yes they can." WB
"WB turn around in Mr.____ 's driveway. Stop it WB. You CAN NOT turn around in the road like that. Someone will think that we're drunk and call the sherriff's department." ME
"No they won't. Mr._____ would shoot it." WB
"Besides which Mr. ______ (another neighbor) told me to skid over it otherwise you might just stun it." WB

LOL WB may wear a suit and tie to work but way deep down in his heart he is such a RedNeck.

I kid you not.

Read the next post too. Other than this actually real story, I'm not posting just writing in the comments. Next post will explain.

    I am feeling pitiful.

    I'm listening to Freddy Mercury sing Find Me Somebody To Love. It's a great video and I was soso happy to find it so that I could share it with my loved ones.

    Imagine my surprise when I found out that the embed code resembled my love life. In other words Nada.

    "Find me somebody to love."

    LOL
    .

    Gonna go see if I have better luck with We Are The Champions

    OH Yay!

    I found it. It's the one where Freddy Mercury is wearing white shorts and a red kerchief. Looks like he's in his underwear.

    Unfortunately it sounds like someone is singing with Freddy and I don't mean the band.

    Gloom.

    Gonna sing along really loud so that I miss that part.

    "Weeeeee are the champions. Weeeee are the champions. No time for loooosers cause we are the champions of the world.

    Is not working.

    OMB I that what Freddy Mercury sounds like when he's not singing falsetto -- no - relief it's someone else.

    WWWWWEEEEEEEEe.

    Now I am watching Pumped Up Kicks by FosterthePeople on video. I can even share this video because they aren't evil and didn't disable the embed thingy.

    See

    http://youtu.be/SDTZ7iX4vTQ

    Now them if you have a computer you too can watch this video. I would have shared the actual video so that you could see it but apparently Blogspot has a problem with that.

    Sigh.

    It's a good song.

    Isn't this fun.

    WEEEEE.

    Oh boy.

    We're watching a Goldie Hawn /Kurt Russell movie. Pup thinks that it will help me to bond with WB. I think he's trying to change the subject as he's in trouble for eating my Klondike bar. I waited all day long to eat that durn thing and he "hoovers" it up like some kind of biological vacume with way more than the proper amount of sucktion.

    Hey I just noticed.

    Craig Ferguson doesn't say "Proper amount of suction" anymore.

    Why?

    I'll go ask.

    :D

    Oh hey. Now we're watching the movie Author.

    Noo the Russel Brand remake isn't on DVD yet (at least I don't think so) Nope this is the one with Dudley Moore and Liza with a Z Minelli.

    .

    And look there's Liza. Hellooo Liza!.

    Look at you in that bright yellow jacket and that bright red kerchief.

    He wait a minute. Didn't Freddy Mercury wear a bright red kerchief. When he was in the video? The one I was talking about in the other post.

    Yes, I think he was.

    Oh Liza, I love you.

    Ok.

    I'm listening to the word to this video.

    This isn't very nice.

    The music is nice but the chorus isn't.

    I mean I'm sitting here.

    Head bobbing and thinking, "Well this is a nice song."

    And then I really started to listen ....

    Well I've gotta go listen to this FosterthePeople band, head bob some more, and shop for a small, tasteful, back pack. I need one so that I can put my wallet in it and then put it on my back so that I'm hands free.

    Only 5,800 more views to go before I've seen AL of this particular search.

    Oh boy.

    You know I'm not sure that I don't like it better when I wrote here and no one read my blog.

    .

    Maybe Bryan can tell me why in the heck, with miles and miles of uninhabited woodland around us that rattlesnake took up residence two feet from my dogs. The ones who barked at it. If I were a snake I'd have gone somewhere other than next to my dog pen. Eating field mice isn't an excuse seeing how the owls have no problem find stuff to eat elsewhere and there's lots of room everywhere other than literally right next to the dog pen.

    That is a question I'd love to have an answer to.
    Would also like to know why if it wanted to flee why it didn't when we left it to go put boots on up at the house. There was PLENTY of time for it to flee.

    But it didn't.

    .

    AND he might could tell us if mothballs in soda bottles (Mother Earth News letters) will discourage them or that noxious sulfur sanke repel which was going to have one particularly religious neighbor thinking that there was fire and brimstone at our house.

    LOL Bryan. Sorry. Was in writing mode but would love to know the answers because we've gone for years peacefully co existing and moving the kennels isn't an option.

    Seriously? Why would any sane snake want to live next to a bunch of yappy dogs?

    LOL.

    Today was hot.

    It was stressful.

    It was not my fault.

    I have to remember that.

    LOL, I love writing. I really do. I love to creat characters. I love to put words together to form a vision in a reader's head. Like two guitar strings in tune. Write something and someone else reads it. Someone who you've never met gets it and pling a compatible thought.

    Here's a thought. Sometmes when a person is doing a bicept curl? That's all it is. A bicept curl. Nothing else. Sometimes a writer gets caught up in voice or dialet. They're sooo happy that they've writen something that for some reason rings true in "voice" and they are "over the moon" happy to have found the words.

    It's just nice.

    And then there are days when real life is screaming at you in the form of a faulty dryer and you're lucky to find a simple sentence.

    .

    LOL I am not an animal (archaic reference) I am a human being.

    Actually it should read, " I am not an animal but I do play one on the radio."

    LOL

    I post this in comments on the Give Your Stress A Rest post but I'm post it here too.

    Think I'll make it a blog post too.

    :(

    .

    I'm not sure if this is my Zen moment or not.


    There's a old Sunday School song about the folly of building your house upon the sand. I never entirely believed that song because I lived on the coast where folks not only built their houses upon the sand, they rebuilt their houses upon the sand after yet another hurricane washed them away. I'm sitting here thinking that building your house on the sand should much more faith in God. You had faith that THIS time surely God would honot your faith by just leaving you be to enjoy the view.

    And then, even though you know deep in your heart that it's coming, he sends something like Hurricane Katina.


    I am deep in my heart a optimistic person. Even now when I have a very good idea that next "huricane" is due. I'm not sure after all that's happened why I'm not a raging pessimist or at the very least a cynic. Maybe I'm alot like that herpitologicst fella , Bryan. We know that some snakes bite. Yet we still study them and care about their lives.


    And yes, comment and this day is more than just about the study of snakes.
