My well was located by a dowser....appreciated that I only had to drill one site......

That works for me!...

Good fishin' to ya!

So, today I had to get out my little revolver....

There has been a copperhead out here at Chez Jurassic that has gotten a little too familiar with the aviary where my rare parrots live...We brought them out from their winter lodgings Wednesday and the copperhead went straight for them... I shooed it away three times, but it kept coming back.

It was coiled up in a spot I could not reach, but it was waaay too close to my female Eclectus parrot named Lady (she is 28 years old)....My revolver hits a little high, but I got it on the second shot....I really didn't want to do it, it had just shed and was looking pretty, but I couldn't let it stay.

Cleaned the gun and put it up in it's proper place.... :kindasad:

*edited to add the winter lodgings part (They have their own building to live in for the winter)

We have come to expect this level vehemence.....

@Shalmaneser: Deflection...you have nothing else....

Oh The Onion....So many layers of naughty.....

Four Americans died that day. America lost an ambassador...haven't had that happen for thirty years.

That is why it matters.....

ND

*read back, and oops, not ND...must be some banned pansy liberal*

Oh boy, this is sad....my condolences to this family during this hard and difficult time.....

Does not look rosy down the road for us Americans.....especially for us older Americans.....

Today's testimony ought to be interesting.....

Good for him!...Hope he does well and loses a bunch of pounds...weight loss/maintaining weight loss is right up there with smoking for being hard to do....

I quit cigarettes in '85.....And have yo-yo'd with my weight over the years....been down to my fightin' weight for about 2 years now....lifestyle change was a big part of it....

Any church, or any place of worship, should have their non-taxable status revoked immediately if they preach about any legislation....

Very distinctive looks...how in the world did this POS think that his description would not follow him like a bad smell?

When one stands out in a crowd, thuggery is probably not your best career choice.....

Sea burial. Let the sharks take care of it.

It was good enough for Osama.....

She maybe should have said that people are mammals, and left it, sitting right there, like a pink elephant in the room......

Rattlesnake pieces, no bones, broiled 'till done, then slathered in buffalo wing sauce and stuck back under the broilers until the sauce is almost blackened.....serve with honey mustard and ranch dressing to dip into....

The fact that it is snake disappears into the ether when the saliva glands start to drool.... :yumnum:

@swhitney: As a young stripling visiting the grandparents in Florida I was caught up in a rip current that almost did me in....two lifeguards came off their towers and swam hard to rescue me....

I am so grateful to them..... and

Best wishes to the kids and teachers down on Tybee....

Could have been bad ammo.....old maybe....stored in a moist location for a long time....

Could have been black market ammo, no telling what the bullets were filled with....but I kinda doubt black market, tho.

What with the shortage of some kinds of ammo, maybe the "iffy" rounds come out of storage.....

@theold33: That was a pretty good movie.....

Drove by the Park-N-Ride today...typically empty....but now the 'blown-on' grass is getting shaggy and the water retention area doesn't percolate like it should...

Do you think that the fence around the retention area will come before or after the cattail reeds grow and blow their heads?....

That Park_N_Ride is empty, and was insanely expensive...it got some FED money, too...

Wonder how many of these boondoggles have sprouted up around the country lately.....Wonder where our tax money is going?.....Wonder no longer.....

Oh, but it made the arsty-fartsy crowd feel so goooood about themselves!!......
