One memorable ride I was just about home at dusk and ran over a rattlesnake. I was about over it before I saw it on the dirt-gravel road. The snake was still there in the road curled and hissing when my FIL came to kill it with a hoe.

Poor snake I like Rattlesnakes. They're lovely animals who at least give you warning to back away from them. One of our reptile shops here has a Venomous section. They have a Diamond Back Rattlesnake in there. He's a big lad but seldom rattles his tail as he's used to people. They also have several Cobras, Black Mambas, Green Mambas, a Gaboon Viper a Puff Adder...and an 8 inch long venomous centipede. I love the snakes but not so keen on the centipede. I've been very lucky in being able to see the snakes close up and being only 12 inches from a Cobra even though he's in his viv and behind glass is quite awesome.

Here he is in a very striking pose

I might have to come visit you and the snakes Python...I love snakes too. Talked to a guy at work who has a pet diamondback rattler. Had her since she was a baby. She was cute...Sorry, off topic a little.

One of the bike paths in Denver has a 15 mph limit because of complaints. I hear the police were actually out there radaring people and giving tickets. I know I have better things to do then that! I haven't been to this park but the local news did a story on it last summer.

I know it's been said but can I reiterate how much I hate it when cars toot their little ( I mean big) horn right behind me? It is just the rudest/ loudest sound and I don't think the driver realizes how bad it could mess a rider up. Wish drivers had a way to say what they wanted to without yelling/ honking.
