I think I may check out the 20” bucket myself. Venom on the snake pole. Wow! That is crazy.

I still shake my head thinking we are living this wretchedly.

Southern Poverty Law Center says it faces US DOJ criminal probe | Alabama Reflector The head of the Montgomery-based group said they believe the probe is tied to SPLC's prior use of paid informants inside extremist groups.

UPDATE via Ralph Chapoco: A grand jury indicted the Southern Poverty Law Center on charges brought by the U.S. Department of Justice that its use of paid informants in extremist groups functioned as financial support for them. SPLC interim CEO Bryan Fair said he was "outraged" by the allegations.

It gave me quite a start and yes it was pissed off. I was using a 5 gal bucket from Lowes. Snake wrangling is why I buy the bucket lids.

Until that moment it never occurred to me they could jump out of the bucket.

Same. I once had a large one jump out of bucket. I now just walk them to the wash in the pile grip. Little ones I try to just discourage if they come back then in the bucket they go.

Number 12 is how I made cassettes in the 70s. I did have a number 8 in my pre-iPod days.

I never get tired of seeing them and I am always excited when they show up at our home.

I mean, there are moments when I’m glad I live here.

Peabrain-Potus nuking Tehran will not be enough for the spineless GOP to Article 25 Dementia-Don.

CNN airs compilation of Trump repeatedly saying that the Iran war will end "pretty soon"

STEFANIK: President Trump was not calling for genocide. Shame on CNN for saying that

TAPPER: I read the quote. Thank you so much.

CNN: “It’s a blowout… not even close… Pope Leo absolutely crushing Trump when it comes to how popular they are.”

What We Don't Know, Can Kill Us: Part 2. Ronald Reagan's legacy lives on in many ways, good and bad. But Americans have forgotten too much about what he did with, and to, Iran. Here's why that matters.

Can't stress enough how important it is right now to listen to media voices who were actually in the room in past hostile engagements of the US and Iran. The current administration is defiantly rejecting historical knowledge and it's mind boggling.

Confederate Memorial Day - Wikipedia

Also speaking its kind of insane that the National Space Club holds the Annual Wernher von Braun Memorial Dinner in Huntsville, Alabama. You know because he was a nazi. But it isn't particularly surprising for a state that celebrates 'Confederate memorial day' en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confede...
