I just found out that I have a friend who doesn't like watermelon flavor, as in Jolly Ranchers, but likes watermelon.  I, on the other hand, like watermelon flavor, as in Jolly Ranchers, but don't like watermelon.  Weird, huh?

Sorry, I got nothin'.  Just hadn't posted in here for a while, and my life is not at all interesting.

i'm this way with banana

 
I always disliked raspberrys. I like the flavor fine, but I hate the million little seeds or chunks of whatever. So annoying. Yet I love strawberrys and am willing to overlook it in those. :mellow:

There's a copperhead prowling one of our local parks here right now.  Since they're not native, someone must have put it there.  WTF?

SEATTLE — Seattle Parks said initially that a non-native, poisonous copperhead snake snek was spotted in Seattle’s Discovery Park on Wednesday.

The city department said the snake was seen at the top of the sandy bluff in the park, and that staff was roping off the area.

“Be safe!” Seattle Parks advised.

But Seattle Parks said later in the day that the Woodland Park Zoo took a look at the photo of the snake snek taken by a park visitor and said that’s not a copperhead, but a non-poisonous corn snake snek.

Seattle Parks said corn snakes sneks are not native to Washington state either, and it likely came from a pet owner.

MPS changed the schedule this year to start earlier and ideally end earlier. Wife had to go back to work on 7/27. That's fertilizer

Not sure if I already told this or not, but a few weeks ago we had a webinar at work on different poisonous plants and animals we could encounter in our field work. 

She kept telling us for every snake that if the pupils are oval, that it's a sign it's poisonous. 

That's a case of something being true, but not all that helpful. If I see a snake in the field, I'm sure as heck not getting close enough to see what shape it's pupil is. As soon as I see it, I'm running away. If I'm close enough to see the shape of its pupil, that means I didn't see it until it bit me. And if it bit me, I'm sure as heck not going to be in a frame of mind to look at its pupils. And its sure as heck not going to stick around and pose for a picture.

 
My wife has been fighting back problems for a while, and had to take a few weeks off from yoga while she got a nerve block injection.  Today was her first session back.  I got 2 texts in a row:

Yeah, I'm going to be hurting tomorrow

I tell people all the time, if you aren't sure if it's poisonous or not, it probably isn't.  When you actually see a water moccasin or a copperhead, you'll know right away that it's venomous.  Of course many non venomous snakes try real hard to look like the bad ones, so you should probably use a little caution, but when you see one you'll know.

I'm definitely more likely to identify the triangular head before the oval pupils.

 
Many of its common names, including "cottonmouth" and "gaper", refer to this behavior, while its habit of snapping its jaws shut when anything touches its mouth has earned it the name "trap jaw" in some areas.  Other defensive responses can include flattening the body and emitting a strong, pungent secretion from the anal glands located at the base of the tail.  This musk may be ejected in thin jets if the snake is sufficiently agitated or restrained. The smell has been likened to that of a billy goat, as well as to a genus of common flood-plain weeds, Pluchea, that also have a penetrating odor.

Going to scratch billy goat off my list of potential pets.

That will be of limited utiliy with a coral snek.

From my limited studies of all things snek, these things are pretty docile and have small fangs in the backs of their moufs.  You have to actually try hard to get one of these to bite you and when they do, they need to clamp down somewhere with loose skin, like the webbing between your index finger and thumb, a ballsack or one of my chins.
