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."??

Notice at the corner bush to steps to front door,  ? 2 foot beige/black reptile with tail end soaking up the heated sidewalk & sun.. The Rest was coiled up in that bush.. Stopped..Dropped & rolled back to the truck, after leaving packages mid sidewalk..Blew my horn for the doorbell & escaped the Adams Family with my life...Dogs I'm cool with..No shoulders? no thanks!  and please call my boss! I can't wait to talk to you about your unknown pet 

That's hilarious.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

Mike

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:

https://web.archive.org/web/20090630033206/http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2004148820_rbpharms280.html

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.

Why would anyone want to live in Atlanta.  I find the concept wholly unappealing.  

Atlanta is the Youngstown of the South? ?

@the-gipper said:

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.

Too freaking hot for me we know people who sold everything in Ohio and moved to the gulf side of Florida only to put up with red tide, hurricanes, long 100+ degree heat and many new neighbors in the past 10 years.  Some are returning back to Ohio.

Nice place to visit in the dead of winter.

Police said five or six masked men arrived at the residence, shot a man in the driveway and then went inside to shoot two more before leaving the scene." 

Certainly seems like a 'hit'.    

@orion said:

Thanks.  It happened a few days ago, no?  Doesn't seem to be much info on it....like motive?   I mean, was it a friendly card game gone bad?   Who's shooting up 3 guys and why?

There seems to be little to no info on the situation surrounding this... but I doubt it was a friendly card game gone wrong. If anything, it sounds like a drug deal gone wrong. (Absolute speculation on my part, but it would make sense). Who knows, maybe a high stakes card game that someone knew about and there was an attempt to rob them, and shit went south? Hell, I remember a Sopranos episode similar to this.
