the mo report

One Saturday morning I was teasing Miss Nimbus by sliding a leather belt along the floor like a snake.  She watched it carefully from a safe distance, keeping a chair between herself and this threat.

I got to wear her shoes later that day, when an odd striped turd caught my eye, while out visiting my friend’s farm.  Yessiree, a genuine rattlesnake!

I snapped a photo, and then participated in the rattlesnake relocation program, holding the lid on the bucket while we escorted the snake several miles away.  I did not participate in the actual capture, rest assured.

There are some thirty species of rattlesnake, this one was thankfully relatively docile.  It was photographed near Ruch, OR.
