SNAKE? Yikes! We have Bullheads and they can get massive. Harmless, but they still give me a heart attack whenever I see one!

I admire people that can build things. I can GROW things, but not necessarily BUILD anything. Well, maybe a scarf or a hat or an afghan, LOL!

And I need to learn how to SEW, as I’m constantly tearing up clothes, while working (yard, shop, driveway - doesn’t seem to matter)!

“Bullhead”? You mean “Bull Snake”? (And then we have “Snakehead” fish down here!)

I was a bit surprised to learn that the (officially) longest native snakes in North America are Black Rat Snakes. But Bull Snakes get very close, and are more powerfully built / very impressive.

Heads up to anyone near a Rural King store: Ours was blowing out plant starting supplies yesterday. 75% off. I bought some trays ($1 ea.) and 2 heating pads ($7.50 ea.).

Back in the 70’s my brother came to visit. He walked down to the river and caught a big catfish. About 3 feet long. That thing would just not die. I remember giving him a pair of those big pruning hooks to cut the head off. We planned on eating the fish. Once cut off, the head kept walking along the sidewalk for several minutes. Brother turned white as a sheet.
