I'm gonna bump this but I can't guarantee for how long this is gonna stay on top.

Buddy, you need a gig where they still provide a webcam.
Else, the next time I'm in Tehas, and I would love to be anywhere but in L.A. right now.

Lubbock is looking good right now and I've never even seen an armadillo, though after the local quarry was reshuffling their lands with Catepillar Earthshakers, I did see my first live diamondback rattlesnake while it was crossing Glenoaks Blvd., all four lanes, to get to the other side where the local dump landfill rests peacefully.

Now this was the very first diamondback rattlesnake that I had ever seen face to face, though some 50 yards away and on foot and in the flesh mind you.
I'm not stupid and I know I've seen what a diamondback rattlesnake can do in a thousand western movies and what they can do to a hapless hamster while trapped in a pet store terrarium at lunch time.

So I imperviously took this whole scene in while remaining some 50 yards away in broad daylight while on foot.

The rattlesnake was on the sidewalk, on my side of the boulevard,
in the industrial zone.

With a slow lumbering set of motions, the rattlesnake slithered into the road.

In the first lane of traffic, a car approached at the legal speed of 45 Miles Per Hour.

The car ran over the diamondback rattlesnake. Phloom Phloom Phloom went the sound of The Diamondback Rattlesnake as its leathery body festooned with what is perhaps one of Nature's most eloquent designs smacked the hard blacktop roadway like a Whip, rolling over and over like a long rubber band unwinding and like a bad tire retread separating from the wheel of a car moving at 45 M.P.H.

The diamondback rattlesnake lay motionless for a moment,
but then returned to its pilgrimage across Glenoaks Blvd.

The diamondback rattlesnake then reached the second lane near the center divider.

The Pickup Truck appeared. Phloom Phloom Phloom.
Again the diamondback rattlesnake was tossed mercilessly around and around in A Diamondback Rattlesnake Barrel Roll, at 45 Miles an Hour.

The snake again lay motionless, this time for several moments, but then raised its head and hopped over the center divider.

The Diamondback Rattlesnake reached the third lane of traffic at the same time as the second pickup truck struck him.
Phloom Phloom Phloom!

The Diamondback Rattlesnake was for sure a goner by now, but no!

The rattlesnake returned to its senses and hopped over the curb and into the dump zone over the knoll and through the chainlink fence.

Now, I've told this story before.
But I like it. :)

 

[sleepy]

It's not that I'm a fan or anything like that.

I have a need to type something.

 

[sleepy]

I did not type this. :)

 

[faralos]

the automakers outta' make their cars outta' snakeskin!
Three direct hits and he's still alive!

 

[sleepy]

The skin helps, but it's really the snake's bones, and the layout of the muscles to the sides and not on top.

That's why they are also known as "sidewinders".

Crown & Harp used to be named The Cavern,
now its a pub upstairs and a club downstairs.
that's good cause i don't like hauling my rig upstairs
and the stage downstairs has a big window so street
folks can also observe you..................

 

[sleepy]

Hauling your rigs upstairs can ruin you for life.

It's almost as bad as keeping all of your songs inside your head, so you don't lose them!

I hope the gig went well.
