    Hmm, "Pharms"....might he be related to old Browns' draftee, LB Jeremiah Pharms (who had serious off field issues)??

    Why would anyone want to live in Atlanta.  I find the concept wholly unappealing.   Same with Dallas/Houston/Phoenix.   Now, the mountain area east of Atlanta.....Galveston...north of Phoenix around Prescott/Sedona...sure,  and maybe Waco, or Abilene in Texas.   But not in those cities. 

    Looks like time for a survey.

    Prescott and Sedona are the best places in the country to mountain bike.

    Yea, isn't that the guy they drafted without doing any background check....and he was under indictment for like drug trafficking and attempted murder or the like.   Le't dig him up:

    So, he did a couple years in prison....came out,  spent a couple of years in the Arena League...but caught again doing a crime of some sort. 

    Have not seen any articles about him since like  2005....however, see this:

    Apparently Pharms has a kid who may be a long shot prospect.

    You couldn't pay me money to live anywhere south of the Mason-Dixon Line, so this is all a "moo point" to me.

    We got rattlesnakes, copperheads, water moccasins, coral snakes, cactus, and 108 degrees heat this past week. What more could you ask for in life dammit??

    EDIT: Oh yeah and no rain since the big hail storm at the end of June.

    Don't let anyone fool you: OH has rattlers and copperhead snakes.

    Ohio's Three Venomous Snake Species

    The three venomous snakes in Ohio are the Northern Copperhead, the Eastern Massasauga rattlesnake, and the Timber Rattlesnake. (Despite what you may have heard or believed you have seen, to date no cottonmouths/water moccasins have been found in Ohio.)Apr 15, 2020

  • Although I imagine most are in rural counties south.  Doesn't Texas also have some gators (east Texas).

    He wasn't talking about OH. It looks like he was talking about TX. Maybe AZ.

    Texas Ag was talking about Texas, but you are right about Ohio's "Toxic Trio". One of my fishing buddies is terrified of snakes & screamed "MOCCASIN!" one day while we were on a local pond a couple years ago. I went over & saw a damn big water snake laying by a bridge abutment, told him what it was, that there are no moccasins in Ohio, then I reached down & spooked it into the pond (never was able to lay a hand on it). He didn't go near that bridge the rest of the day & we never saw that snake again!

    In fact, the only venomous snake I ever came across was a small (8" or so) massasauga rattler.

  • I know he was, I was just stating what is in Ohio.  But not nearly  the amount that is down south.  I don't think I ever saw a poisonous snake in ohio

  • While out on my 18 mile mountain bike rides during the spring, summer and fall months in the SoCal high desert, I play the game "Stick or Snake" for all 18 of them.

    Saw plenty when I was stationed in San Diego.  Not in the city, but in the desert and outside the city.

    I thought I told y'all about the two cowboys who stopped at the watering hole about 2 miles from town, didn't I?

    Well anyway they stopped to get a drink when a big ole Diamondback reached out and bit one on the pecker. He yells to his buddy, "Quick, ride into town and get ole Doc back here!" The other cowboy rides as fast as he can and flies into Docs office yelling for him to come quick to save his friend. Ole Doc says, "Can't you see I'm delivering a baby? Here take this sharp knife, make an incision on the bite and suck the poison out. Then bring him here." The cowboy rides right fast back to his hurtin' pal. "What'd the Doc say dammit!", says his buddy.  "Doc says you're gonna die my friend."??
