Good wet Wednesday, all bodies..
The other sunny and dry morning I sat outside on the patio at Giddy Up and had a great conversation with a "local favorite!" We touched on all sorts of nostalgia, but listening to his stories about how country the Village of Folsom was in the fifties, was a treat.
Somehow, we ended up talking about bahia grass, mowing the lawn on a tractor, bailing hay and... snakes. I told him about our one adventure with a cottonmouth...
... and he told me how he and his buddies would capture all kinds of snakes, put them in a burlap sack and sell them to an animal farm off Highway 11.
"See now, I quipped, "that's the difference between a country boy and a city boy."
"Oh yeh? he replied.
"Yeh, a country boy supplements his allowance by collecting snakes and a city boy does the same collecting coke and beer bottles!"
First cup and then back to the grind...
