RRRRR - Rattlesnake!

While the Senator and theschoolboardmember
headed across the field to check out
some hay....

I stood around and watched the cows chew their cud. 

Then this little feller appeared!

He coiled.
I retreated.
Then I quietly stated,
"I think that is a rattler."

It's a long story,
but a cast iron griddle and an old magazine later,
we had that rattle!

(It's in a paper cup...drying out right now.)

For fear of anyone from PETA showing up on my doorstep,

I will refrain from telling you the part about how he/she got

smashed when I ran over him/her.

The Senator and theschoolboardmember decided
 they wouldn't ever want to get me really mad,

let's just put it that way.

I didn't mean it.

Really.

I didn't.

finally I'm back-to-bloggin'...

from the range, peace
