    Nope. I am talking about poisonous black snakes that inhabit this area and that have just missed my wife twice. They have bit two of our dogs resulting in one death. As a kid I use to catch racers but I have never seen a racer on this property. We have some big corn snakes that feed well on the mice. We take the time to remove the really big corn snakes to a patch of woods some distance away. I have even seen chickens attack and kill the black snakes. I barely got a shove between, a black snake and my wife when one attacked her, lots of venom on the blade. That snake become fish and turtle food. I also now carry a 6 inch Taurus 45/410 when I am out and about.

    I have black racers, here, and Indigo snakes that are black and eat poisonous snakes.
    Cottonmouths and copperheads live here, they're poisonous. Hognose "Puff Adders", are mildly poisonous, they say.

    I can't think of a poisonous black snake? Although by late summer cottonmouths can be nearly black, so much so that sometimes one can't see the markings. Think that's what they are?

    Yes. Also water snakes. Had a water snake actually come across our pond to attack me. All I had was a 38 colt snub nose and the snake ended up fish food. 2 of our dogs seem to be very angry when a snake gets too close and they do end them. Summer changing to cold weather seems to bring them out more then normal.

    Yeah, those water snakes are aggressive critters. Can't actually hurt you, but by the time I figure out for sure that it's just a water snake they're usually dead. You can't calm them down, either. You know, you can catch a chicken snake, black rat snake, garter snake, even a hognose, and after awhile they calm down, once they know you're not going to hurt them. But the water snake never calms down.

    "Commonly known as a “water moccasin”, the cottonmouth is found mainly in the western half of the state. It’s habitat is mainly going to be in or around bodies of water such as rivers, creeks, lakes, swamps and wetlands. They are North America’s only venomous water snake."

    Thank you @Stubble

    Shaved and put on pants today for the first day in a long time. Had a dentist appointment and the dentist likes to pull the hairs on my mustache while he's working in my mouth.

    Came home and made chicken wraps for lunch with fresh basil from the garden. Turned out great.

    Now I'm sanitizing my water dispenser with a bleach water solution and rinsing it out. Too hot and muggy here, it's sapping my strength.

    Doing light preparation for hurricane, hopefully we get a solid 6-8” of rain, so hot and dry, need rain bad but not the wind.

    I was coming down the hill from my studio this evening and saw a doe and two little ones. We don't have any nearby neighbors, mostly it's all woods. Hope the deer don't find our garden.

    After 6 months of staying home I had my Wife cut my hair with clippers. It's short and I'll be a lot more comfortable now.

    After roasting and smoking an Avo Classic #2, I realized I was hungry and missed lunch. I fixed a PB&J and put some Panters mixed nuts (like 90% peanuts) on the plate. I wasn't real careful setting the sandwich down and got some nuts stuck to the peanut butter. I ended up dipping the sandwich in the mixed nuts, it was good.

    Recovering from a bout of food poisoning last night.
    Grilled burgers for the wife and I, she was only a little sick, I had two and was up all night with an alien in my guts. Got to sleep about 9 AM in the recliner and woke about 2.
    Crackers and ginger ale for me today.

    Friends don't let good friends smoke cheap cigars.

    Sorry to hear that, Michael. You didn’t let Nick cook those burgers, did you?

    Cut back blackberries, a bunch of 10-12 ft locust and red oak trees, and wild roses as they were all crowding my studio.. Filled a 5x10 trailer with the cuttings and drove down the road to the edge of our land and pitched all over the same bank I have been using for 40 years. Had gloves but some of the thorns got thru. Spent a hour or so after supper with a Robusto while I picked the busted off thorns out.

    Nothin' like the aroma of diesel roasted duck (at least I think that's what it was...there wasn't much left of it) at 0530 while pulling bits of feather out of the engine intake.

    having to go round and round with my ex landlord about some ridiculous charges on our house we were renting. At the point where I'm either going to get a lawyer or just pay up and not buy cigars for awhile, ugh!

    a solution to this:

    The New York Times:
    Russian intelligence is hacking campaign officials from both parties, while China has focused on penetrating the Biden campaign, Microsoft warned.
    Thursday, September 10, 2020 2:47 PM EST

    The findings come one day after a government whistle-blower claimed that officials at the White House and the Department of Homeland Security suppressed intelligence concerning Russia’s continuing interference because it “made the president look bad,” and instructed government analysts to instead focus on interference by China and Iran.

    well, difficult to hack from afar:
