I dragged their asses (if snakes have asses) out the front door. I let them go, and they slithered away nonchalantly thru the grass.

A job well done, Truman.  ;D

It might just, Lynne thinks I need to use the feather duster head dress one, but I won't because its from Walmart.

I'm glad you made it home ok! Snakes and all.
Good thing about black snakes is they chase off the poisonious ones!

       That is one of the best stories you have ever told us yet.  I could just see you being a snake wrangler.  Funny picture...Sounds like some of my adventures.  When we got to the cabin in the woods the night after we
were in the run down little cabin and there was a spider on the wall..me and Roubx, and four or five guys...guess who had to climb onto the back of the futon and kill the spider, so they could all sleep in their beds comfortably...Jeff had the futon right below it.  So I think he was the most worried.
         Does all this remind you of a song...I dont like spiders and snakes.

Truman,

Thanks for the vivid description of your Sky Bridge adventure.  That's one of the stops on our family vacation in August, and I was wondering what it was going to be like and how they run it.  From your description, it seems like they've got it down to a science.

I'll remember to look for my shadow.  I think it's going to be a very cool experience.  (It better be, at that price.)  :)  And like you, I think I'll pass on any helicopter tours of the canyon. 

Thanks again.

Fran

Shit, I thought, I have walked on the glass bridge for gawd sake, I can handle this. I went down into my packrat basement, found a length of PC pipe, an old phone cord and some string. I ran the string thru the pipe, pulled the cord thru the pipe till I had me a noose. I marched back upstairs and slipped the noose around the snakes' heads and gently tightened. I dragged their asses (if snakes have asses) out the front door. I let them go, and they slithered away nonchalantly thru the grass.

"Go lay your damn eggs" I hollered at them. They will do that under a rock someplace. Damn reptiles think they own the place.


Tru, you're living quite a life.  Now you can replace the thought in blue with, "Shit, I lassoed me two snakes in my bedroom, I can handle this."

Re the part in purple, they were probably a pair a deuces (with scrawny asses).  Maybe they would have moved faster if you had barked, "Pronto!" at them. 

:)

Fran, I am so glad your going, take plenty of water, it is very dry out there. You will love it.

Also if you are in the William, AZ area you can take the Grand Canyon Rilway to the canyon, it is relaxing esp. after driving so much.
