Cotton Country Ride

70 sounds great!

Sometimes I think I'd like to live where it's warm all the time, but those places seem to have either tornados or earthquakes, poisonous snakes, lots of bugs, mosquitos or lots and lots of people congested together...things that also like warm weather.

Well, around here no congestion just miles and miles of forest and farm land. No earthquakes and tornadoes are rare. Plenty of bugs (love bugs are the worst), mosquitoes, deer flies, and other biters and venomous snakes. Took this photo on Tuesday while deer hunting. Nearly stepped on him. Timber rattlers can really hide in some leaves.

Whoa! Well hidden. Given the typical Texas stereotypes, you would figure that I would come across a lot of rattle snakes. But, being about 60 miles off the coast (Houston area) we see a lot more water moccasins and copperheads, with the occasional coral snake tossed in for good measure.
