New Cigars
My local smokeshop got in some new cigars lately, so I bought a few different kinds to try out.. The Mrs. dont like me to smoke em in the house cause she says they stank, but says these new ones smell good.. Anyway, I sat out on the front porch late last nite smokin a peach-flavored one while pettin the kitten, and I noticed somethin.. The traffic that usually drives me nuts was not there.. This is the first part of the month, and the locals most-times get that check and go hog-wild for the first couple of weeks, then count their pennies till the first of the month rolls around again.. Not this time.. There were a few, but not the caravans of cars that I usually see.. Seems that they have finally figgered out that it aint no fun takin your lunch money and spending it on gas to drive around one block then another, just to beat on a tub as loud as you can, and jack with the people that live there.. Really pisses me off when they do that at around 2 or 3 in the mornin..
I sure have seen a lot of rental trucks heading toward Louisianna too.. I guess some are loaded with aid supplies, and some are just going after what is left of their possesions.. America's workforce is responding too.. I have seen every kind of construction device and equipment there is pass by headed that way to join the rebuilding process.. I think if it was me tho, I would drive straight on thru Louisianna to Miss. or Ala. ..
I figger the price of gas is gonna start to go down soon, and with it the booger-eatin-mohrons will be cruising the streets again, and I will be awaken at 2 or 3 in the mornin again, and all will be back to usual.. I'll just enjoy sittin on my front porch at nite havin me a cigar, and pettin my lil'o kitten till it does, and thank the Good Lord that I have what I have, and am what I am..

Speakin of sittin on the porch.....earlier this evening I was sitting on the porch in the hammock swing, er pettin the kitties, and my kids came out side to feed the kitties, and as I was watching their feet step off the porch and on to the leaf covered ground about 18" from where I am sitting I notice the outline of a perfectly camouflaged snake about 6" from my kids bare feet.
Like to sh_t in my pants.
The ignorant reptile remained frozen long enough for me to put a Zarqawi special on him.
Man I just can not convince my kids to wear manly footwear. I wish they shared my deep phobia.
A recent letter to the editor of our local "rag" from a guy I know that bales a lot of hay, said that the snakes this year are the worst he has seen in years.. Ol Rusty aint skeert of no snake either, but he is still shocked at the shear number of em.. He says its all kinds of em too... Timber Ratlers, moscans, copperheads, and corrals.. The Mrs. went out to the patio behind the house a while back and came SCREAMING back in the house.. There was a moscan about 5 feet long out there.. He scooted over into my neighbors yard behind his tool shed before I could get to it, so I hollered at my neighbor and let him know it was out there somewhere and to tell his kids to watch out for it.. He never told me whether he got it or not, but I heard his kids playin out there for the rest of the day and the next few days, so I guess they either kilt it or it left the area.. I'm a FIRM believer that the only GOOD snake is a DEAD snake !! Lately the only critters I have had to worry about is a skunk that comes visitin around midnite, every nite now.. He stops by to collect the morsals of cat food that is left in the Mrs.'s cat's food pans at nite.. I think I just about have the Mrs. talked into lettin me "bushwhack" it pretty soon.. I'm already dreadin the clean up !!
Last Sunday morning when we were loading up the vehicles to go back to Jasper and survey the damage, I nearly stepped right on a copperhead that had been floated out of the woods from the hurricane. I hadn't seen a snake like that in a long time! I was lucky there was a shovel leaning up on the fence near the house and just as soon as that one got Zarqed (lol.. good one RT) I be damn if another one didn't crawl out of the leaves.
