I don't pretend to be who/what I'm not. I will be honest here unless I publish under the category "This could be news," which is 99% fiction and a wee bit sarcastic. ;-) I want readers who come here to have as much fun as I do. Not all subjects can be fun, but most can be funny if I do my job right ;-) My inner child is reflected in my logo and will change at a moment's notice.

Don’t Worry – It’s Dead

~ JodiLea

Some days life up here in the mountains is exciting. Too exciting…
Hubby: “Come outside, I need to show you something.”
Me: “Okay.”
Hubby: “It’s over here”
Me: “What is it?”
Hubby: “Don’t worry, it’s dead.”
Me: “What!?”  Hubby likes to tell me crap like that just to shake me up.
Hubby: “You need to see this.”
Hubby’s Friend: “It’s really bad. But don’t worry, it’s dead.”
Hubby: “You need to see this so you know what to watch out for.”

That was not good. I didn’t want to lean over the short wall to see a dead whatever-it-was. But I did.

A headless Diamond-back Rattlesnake was still twitching.

Hubby took a picture for posterity

We have never seen a snake before today. Our neighbor said that he’s lived up here for 25 years and never seen one.

I sure hope this snake was lost.

Revolution OR Revulsion?

~ JodiLea

Wow.

I read an article posted by the leading blog, The Last Refuge. I was at first skeptical, then I watched the 5 video clips filmed in San Jose yesterday during the riots. I say riots because these were not people “protesting” Trump. These people were looking for a battle. They wanted bloodshed, so I hope they are happy now.

The following two paragraphs (found in the article) were particularly chilling:

“Last evening in San Jose California a violent mob of several hundred were allowed by the San Jose Police Department and Democrat San Jose Mayor to attack Donald Trump supporters as they were leaving the rally venue.

In response to the brutality last night, San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo (democrat), blamed Donald Trump and his supporters for not “accepting the beatings with more appreciation.”

What the F^*@#$%!?

If I had not seen for myself the American flag, people cursing in English, police in uniform, I would have thought this was happening in one of those small third world countries that throw over their government every other year.

This is the United States of America!  What happened to tolerating another person’s opinion? Where is free speech? Equality under the law?  OK. We get that you hate Trump. We don’t have to fight in the streets about it, because we each have a voice, and it will be heard. All we have to do is:  VOTE

American Flag

It is really that simple!
