I mean I really, really hate snakes. This afternoon, I was climbing up the last hill of the day, so I wasn't looking real far ahead, and with cars going the opposite direction, I was a little distracted. Anways, I then glanced farther forward, about 50 feet, and noticed something in the road and thought it was a stick. All of a sudden, I realized the thing was moving, coming directly into my path, and was a 3-4 foot long snake. I about freaked. With cars around me, I couldn't exactly swerve to miss it, so I slammed on the brakes, then suddenly realized that I was freaking clipped in, somehow managed to stay upright and missed the snake by less than 1/2 a foot. I completely freaked at this point and almost had a panic attack as I went the last 500 feet to my car.

I am going to be having nightmares about this for days. I mean, in some of my textbooks whenever I used to come across a picture of a snake I had to put something over the picture to be able to read the text. I mean I am completely terrified of these things. Aaaahhhhh
