They are common here. I know how to identify and stay away from venomous critters because I’m an outdoors kind of dude, but this was a bad luck chance encounter while metal detecting in a grove of quince trees. Fun experience though, but that venom is certainly nasty.
I just looked her up. Yeah, that’s really dark skin and very beautiful. The Indian “caucasians” mentioned up there, and some Australia aborigines have skin that dark too. It’s really interesting to study human evolution.
I do like about 19 min mark he says “It will make you harder than a “Methodist Preachers Pecker”.
The man was really hated by the USG.
Course not. If you weren’t a bootlegger you were a customer. My grandpa used to have friends over on Saturday night to listen to the Grand Ole Oprey. They’d have a few snorts and after the show get out their instruments for a little “git down”. Of course this required more snorts as they would work up quiet a thirst. My gran would only tolerate so much. At 11:00 she’d enter the living room, confiscate the jars and tell everyone, “An hour to the Lord’s day an I better see every one of you in church tomorrow.” My gran was a red-headed half Cherokee and when she spoke everybody listened. She’d then pour all the confiscated shine down the kitchen sink. Granpa’s friends knew it was time to be headed up and down the holler making their way home. This was a Saturday night ritual.
Back atcha!!!!!
That is a good story.
I get to work that region from time to time.
It’s all about making hard work look easy. It drives modern people nuts.
and do not forget to thank the Lord Jesus for the life you have.
When we moved here, one of the guys at church gave us the 411 on the woolly caterpillars and what their colors/stripes mean. People pay attention.
I understand you have moved near to the region lately.
It is a vast area that covers the range of mountains.
I hope you have enjoyed your decision. It is a beautiful area.
Yes. We moved to Roane County in 2010, then Loudoun County in 2016. It’s beauty is one thing that drew us here. It’s so similar to rural western NY where I grew up, but without the taxes.
I’ve heard of the high “spider web” one too. Also means deep snow.
LOL! Great story. My grandmother would be the same - her mother used to drag her to WCTU meetings...
