I hijacked your request with a comment about the snake.
i've always just called them "Bull Snake",
So I looked it up in a couple of Brad's reptile books and see in the west they
are a subspecies of "Gopher Snake".
Growing up on the edge of the Frio draw i saw a lot of them as well as Prairie
Rattlers. Also saw them in Missouri.
Once about 20 years ago as I was doing a run, I saw about 5 feet of snake
coming out of a ground squirel hole
on the east side of Chicago near 57th street where I think the lot is still
vacant.
Boy when I pulled it's other foot and head out of the hole there was one mad
snake!
After my run, I drove back over and searched the whole lot and did not find it.
I had my gunny sack and a forked stick to try
and catch it and take it out of town. Never found it.
