Default Good, Bad and the Ugly

The nice spring like warm weather has done several things

Good: started to see girls in mini-skirts, always a good sign summer is on its way

Bad: Saw my first two snakes of the season, means spring is on the way and soon they will be a daily occurence during mating season

Ugly: Miniskirts on women mean bare chested, overweight, middle aged men are out too.

Oh well, only a couple more months and then its hurricane season.

There are tonnes (tons) of snakes in NC, and there a few poisenous (copperheads and water mockasons spring to mind) but you have to remember they are more scared of us than we are of them. The two I saw where laying in the sun and as soon as the saw me coming darted off into some pampas grass.

Where I live seeing a snake is like seeing a deer (except when you hit a snake in your car its tends to cause less damage)

I'm petrified of snakes, next to my office is the Potomac River and around the woods and waterfront are Copperheads and Water Moccasins (otherwise known as Cottonmouths - because when they open their mouths they look exactly like that - apparently)
Both venomous.
I haven't seen any yet, but it wouldn't matter how venomous they are, it would be the heart attack that killed me, not the bite !

Haven't seen my first Rattle Snake of the season yet.

Come to mention it, I have still yet to see a Black Widow spider since I've been here.

Thinking about putting on my string vest, grey shorts, wellies and hankie on me head and giving the US a taste of British sunbathing

Watch out about wearing that hankie on your head. Round your neck of the woods, you might be mistaken as a KKK advocate!
