I drove past this between Salida and Cotopaxi on State Highway 50 in Colorado. I had to turn around and tell whoever that I stood with them totally assuming I was correct. I was and got the biggest hug of appreciation for doing so.

From my understanding, there are close to 3000 children being held around this country after being seized from their parents at the border.

Many will never see their Mom and Dad again because Republicans are totally evil.

You bastards!

Changes And Eight Feet Of Red

Yes there are changes and I have had every intention of posting on that and I will very soon. Fly is alive along with a positive attitude. The "news" and people's priorities leave me in a huge funk and if I were posting the message would be the same and then I'd get this shit "oh you're so negative". Sooo take a look at what's below.

I'll be bok!  

There is nothing to fear here.  There's two obvious reasons these snakes are called Red Racers. The first one is obvious. Others I've seen are lightning fast. This one was not that. Pretty impressive animal.



It's these guys one needs to be aware of. This is the second rattlesnake I've come upon this year. The other was was six feet off my left shoulder when walking out back.

    I first saw a red racer in the driveway of a little adobe house where I lived, in the foothills outside of Santa Fe. They are beautiful! I've never seen a rattler and that one seems waaaaay too close for comfort... Good to see a post.

      I was on my bike. There was no danger. Now if these guys had the speed of a red racer with an attitude that would be different.

      I could easily get hammered. It the nature of the beast. I look down and walk pretty slow. I can't hear them either. Always looking for the snakes.

      Like the picture of the turbines under construction, read Colorado just increased it's RPS (Renewable Portfolio Standard) goals. This is what ALEC and Kochs were trying to cripple, instead the percent of sustainable energy goal is increased. Sweet.

      The second one is mounted. The third is assembled on the ground and the fourth is getting worked on now. These are Chinese by the way.

    Sorry bout dat TMoon but that's what goes on out here. Not for much longer though.

    As many damn rodents live in this area you'd think there would be many more.There are a lot for sure.

    The worst that's likely to happen to me is to be savaged by a haggis. Take care out there.

    I always worry about the poisonous snakes biting my dog. He is always curious about critters and this makes him vulnerable. I am not familiar with Red Racers. I take it they are not poisonous? I have a compact with the snakes in my yard -- you leave me alone and I'll leave you alone. Worked out so far. Good post ~~ barbara
