Well That Was Different

Snakes and Motorcycles do not mix. But they did tonight. I was coming home from the Police Acadamy Graduation just at dark and as I turned into my drive way here was a two foot long copperhead just kind of laying there catching a little warmth out of the asphalt. You know I sort of thought twice but I was pretty sure from the way he looked that it was a copperhead and I do not want a poison snake hanging out at my mailbox. So I went for it and ran over the geester. I then backed up and ran over him again....This would be a lot eaiser in a truck. I went to the house and got the truck because I did not want to put a snake in the saddlebag; I picked up a shovel also then went back and the rascal was crawling away but with the help of a shovel I gave a quick whack and threw him in the back of the truck.  I am not sure I will try that again. But there he is streched out in the garage behind my bike. RIP
