Yesterday

Because I live on a farm and I had a close encounter with a rabid animal here. I killed a large rattlesnake at the barn. It had killed one of my cats. And was HUGE! I have shot into the air to scare coyotes, once. That's it.

I am contemplating other activities. If necessary.

Most don't involve a firearm, however.

Thanks for the discussion. I love you, True.

Dear ICE:
Please let me know if you're looking for me. Thanks, ❤️pants
