…it was still alive!

“There’s something you need to see.”  That’s what the gardener said when he knocked on the door this morning. “There’s a very big rattlesnake in the back,” he said.  “Alive?” I asked.  “Not any more, but he’s still moving.”  They always kill my rattlesnakes first, then tell me about it.  But this one was big – about 2 1/2 to 3 feet long, and it was still alive!  I grabbed my camera, put on hard shoes and followed the gardener out.  Even though the snake was injured, it was still scary to be that close.  And I go walking back there all the time.  It was the same spot where the alligator lizard was and I know who would have won that fight. Maybe that’s why I never saw the lizard again.  He was lunch… hell no – more like an appetizer.

Bozo?

It looks like we have a new look-a-like candidate: Bozo.

The hair color is right.

Sometimes Denis is afraid of me.

And I’ve been called a tramp.  This could work.

Sticks and Stones

I’m putting together a new “Fun Photos” page for the website. I have quite a few unique pictures that area screaming for a caption, especially this photo of me.  So I’m looking for ideas. And don’t worry about hurting my feelings.  

Sticks and Stones, baby!  Bring it!

The new section should be up in a week or two.

This is so annoying!

My newest pet peeve is when I’m watching a show on TV, focusing on the storyline, and just when it gets interesting all of a sudden some guy pops up at the bottom of the screen, walkin’ around down there waving his arms like he has an urgent message I need to know, and then here comes the name of the show, what time it’s on, and blah, blah, blah. Who cares? This is so annoying! I refuse to watch any show that I see promo’d like that. I’ll show them. I guess they’ve figured out that no one is watching commercials any more so now I am being forced to endure these rude interruptions to my favorite shows. And they’re not tiny – they take up half the screen! So now I’m forming a new coalition called B.A.S.T.A.R.D.S (Boycotting All Shows That Are Run Down-Screen). Who’s in?

It’s HOT!!

We’re having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave… well not exactly tropical but it’s 100 degrees.

• It’s hotter than two rats humping in a wool sock.
• It’s hotter than a snake’s ass in a wagon rut.
• It’s hotter than the flames under Mel Gibson’s career.

The heat hasn’t hurt my little yellow grape tomatoes. We’re having awesome salads every day!

The hull report

My popcorn hull seems to have moved on so my day was not a total floss.

-Dad gummit! I think it’s gone.

-I think I feel it again… What the hull?!?

-To tell the tooth, I’m not really sure.
