Rattlesnakes - Florida Power And Light Picture.jpg

When I was little, my grandfather used to have me stay with him for two weeks each Summer.  He lived in Red Wing, MN and Red Wing is the farthest North you will find venomous snakes, Rattle Snakes.

He used to tell me all about water well drilling.  He had done this all his life.  He talked about watching for the snakes in the limestone bluffs Red Wing is noted for. Red Wing had a bounty on Rattlesnakes for years, then they had to stop it cause the snakes were almost decimated.  Now they are back.

The twin cities is about 50/60 miles North and it is absolutely unheard of to see a venomous snake there.  My daughter lives about 30 miles North of Red Wing and they have never seen a Rattlesnake.

The cold temperature is quite a snake preventative.  I used to play with Garter Snakes when little but I don't know anything about them now.

My favorite waitress asked if I wanted to "box up the fruit dish" after breakfast.  I pulled out one slice of Strawberry and told her no, but I would like to frame this one.  She blushed!

Mental Adjustments That Californicans Fleeing The Dying Bear State Will Have To Make In America
Jul 21, 2022 - BabylonBee.com (text modified by csmith)
Hundreds of thousands of people are fleeing California for states like Texas and Florida, but it's not always easy to adjust to life in an American state.
Let's look at some of the adjustments fleeing Californicans have to make in their new states:

It rains in some states, it rains hard in a few of them. Try not to drive your car into a pole when this happens. Park your car … not on the highway, if you are scared. Take a deep breath. You will get through it.
People don't say "The" in front of highway names. If you're driving on I-10 in Texas, you'll feel the urge to say "The 10," but don't do it. It's wrong … and it makes you sound stupid.
You can't wear flip-flops to church. Not even your "nice" Vans flip-flops. Put on shoes like an adult.
There's no need to call the police if you see someone with a gun strapped to their hip. It's OK. The guns can't jump out and hurt you, no matter what Newsom told you back in California.
"Bless your heart" doesn't mean "bless your heart." Well, it might mean "bless your heart," but it's a safer bet that it means "you're an idiot," or "I don't like you." Or, it's a simple ending to a statement you've made about someone that you don't want to feel bad about.
No one cares about your preferred pronouns. Go ahead and tell an old farmer in Oklahoma or Georgia that you go by "they" pronouns. The look on his face will be worth it.
Man-buns are unacceptable in a professional setting. Or any setting.
You have to go into buildings without any kind of official warning that something inside there might cause cancer. You will just have to take the chance. Be strong.
The weather cycles from hot to cold and back again on an annual basis. Do not be alarmed. These are called "seasons."
You might have to make your own choices and take responsibility for your actions without the government taking care of you. This is the most difficult adjustment for Californicans to make when they move to America, but with time, prayer (also acceptable in red states), and willpower, you can do it!
