Rattlesnakes and Drunks

In the last two days the big news has been the drunk that smashed through our gate at the gated community, and the siting of two rattlesnakes. The drunk hit the gate at about fifty, and decided to run out into the desert on foot. The sheriff instigated a helicopter hunt, and soon he was captured. It was interesting to wake up to the crashing sound when he hit the gate. Our first rattlesnake Cissie walked by and did not see. Fortunately it was dead, even though coiled. The second one was on the trail. Hiking is taking on a new phase. When I get to better wi-fi. I will put some pictures on.
