After reading all your posts I went to the barn and gave my 3 pt.-- 72" snowthrower a big kiss.
You all can give me a hard time in 6 months.

Here in the blackland prairie we don't have them.. water moccasins and rat snakes we see, but even those not very often. But I can go close to the river (Brazos) or south and east towards Kosse and Bremond, and you'll find some timber rattlers, and plenty of copperheads. We have a frozen rattler in the freezer at the office that one of the guys found on his place about 10 miles away. That's the first one I've ever seen!

I've never been to Texas and I don't know my geography but what section of Texas did the space shuttle leave its debris? Reason I ask, I have a friend who was on one of the many search teams. He is accustomed to snakes but he said he had never seen as many cottonmouths in his life as he did while he was there.

He said there were a lot of gully like creeks that they had to scale down then back up. He said whenever they saw one of these creeks he knew he'd better start looking closely cause there was always one there. He said they lined up about 3 foot apart and walked combing the ground for anything. If they found something they would radio someone and another team would flag it put a gps fix on it and then do whatever. I think he said they helped solve six missing persons and uncovered several meth labs cause no stone went unturned.
