[QUOTE="beemerdons, post: 970393, member: 4296"] I just love walking in the Sonoran desert right at daybreak to enjoy the cool dawn before the sun becomes blazing hot. I walked this morning in South Chandler at the San Tan Mountain Park and as usual I saw a diamondback rattlesnake, they are always under the mesquite and chapparal waiting for prey to come past (jackrabbits, lizards, kangaroo rats, etcetera). I am always very careful to walk directly between these bushes and not near them so as not to get bitten, but sure enough I heard the rattle of a five footer and I saw him ready to strike. As I slowly backed away from him with my walking stick in front of me in the hopes he would strike that first, I was convinced that I had seen that very same exact look before! Do you FJR Forum Folks note the way that Mary Ellen is intently staring at that full whiskey bottle on the bar top? Let me tell you, a diamondback rattlesnake does not posses a strike to compare to our MEM going after a fine whiskey!
