When Larry died, my fear was that he might have willed us the snake.

There was talk of trading in Iraqi souveniers tonight...

At about 13yoa, I went to a Boy Scout Jamboree in Colorado Springs (1960, I think -- I got to shake President Eisenhower's hand!), and for my main "trading stash" I took about 40 rattlesnake skins, from 3' to 6' in length, with the rattles still attached. I got lots of good loot for them!

If you ever want to snake hunt in Montana, head for the Helena valley. Sorry, but I won't take you there. I'd fix you dinner and offer you a glass of wine, but no snake hunting for me.
