Mike Shanahan FIRED ! ? !

I'm bummed. Pat Bowlen, Denver Broncos owner, fired Mike Shanahan on Tuesday (right after P-doobie gave me an autographed photo of Mike for Christmas!). What a bonehead (Bowlen)!

Read and weep:

FIRED!

Tool Bag Update

If you haven't checked out the path of the tool bag, the web site has added a new feature called footprint. It shows the area the tool bag can be viewed above the horizon. I wish that I'd had it the other night when it passed by western Oklahoma. I might have been able to see it. I'm going to have to get a telescope...

A. BIG. DAMN. SNAKE ! !

This evening when I went down to the barn to feed the horses, this is what I saw trying to hide under a hay bale:




After I looked at it...a bull snake (I checked the tail)...I ran to the house to get Jack and show it to him. When we got back down there, there was another one. They were both about the same size...BIG! Maybe four feet long. He (she?)was going across the opening in the front of the barn. Before that, I scared it and it went into the stall where Barney was eating and Barney got scared. He jumped around and so the snake got scared and came out and went into the stall next door. I took three great pictures of it, but had the lens cap on, so they really weren't so great!



I tried to get a close-up, but it moved away too fast.



...and ended up going under a pile of lumber in one of the stalls.

I'm wondering if I interrupted a mating ritual...

Dangerous Lemon Slices?

This creeped me right out! It's a wonder we all haven't croaked off because of the stuff that's out there....
