As if Our encounter was not enough,
I am at the doctors today chatting with a nurse and when She asked what I do for exercise, I said I walk(chase) 2 dogs. She comes back with, She was walking Her dog on a park trail near Yucaipa and they came across a rattler. The I tell Her My story. My blood pressure was a little higher than normal, She says thats O K, thinking about the encounter would raise Hers as well.
Then I come home and read the paper, over in Hemet they have an outdoor play at the Ramona Bowl, they had to take a brief recess while they rounded up a few rattlers that were in attendance.
Their out there right now looking for food after their "Winter Nap".
Keep an eye out and bee careful.
