Rattlesnakes are pretty common in California. When I was working military police at Miramar, the first round in our weapon was always snake shot. We'd come across at least one a week. Usually run over by a car on the road.
Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

Snake Shot? Who knew there was such a thing.

I still call those scissory extendo claw thingies "snakegrabbers" from my Mt. Diablo Park Aide days. I only had to use them for rattlesnake moving once, but it was memorable. Completely uneventful, but burned in my brain.

Yikes, this Superbowl is close. There will be no fingernails left in Wisconsin or Pittsburgh.

I dread Wisconsin losing because I know people who will be devastated.

Ahhh, tell it it to Cleveland, you babies. They haven't won a championship in any sport since 1948.
