Sound of dry tan grass Slow shadows blurred by the heat Quick fluorescent pain! |

I get bit allatime, one kind of snake or another.....I've built up a reisistance to most of 'em by now. Closest I ever got to a reptilian snake's bite was while beaching a canoe, and the cottonmouth's big white mouth was half-way to me at the instant my reflexive swing of the paddle cut him in half..... Amazing how big that mouth gets, when it's coming AT you.....! ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> ______________Ratleader______________ |
