When we were in Fallon, Nevada a few weeks back visiting my new grandaughter (oh yeah, my son and daughter-in-law too! /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif), I took a load of trash to the local landfill. As I drove in, I was reading the various signs that were posted so that I would make sure I knew where to go. After all of the standard signs that you would expect, the last sign I came to said "Watch out For rattlesnakes!" /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
I stopped at the weight house and asked the attendant if there was a really bad problem with snakes (I HATE snakes!). He said that it hadn't been too bad this year. They'd only found 4 so far! /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif He went on to say that I should just be careful and not step on top of any little mounds of trash (in a landfill? Noooooo!).
So I drove down to the dump area and parked W A Y far away from any little mounds . Then I took the trash, and heaved it as far as I could toward the pile. Luckily, the attendant's shack wasn't visible from where I was, so he didn't notice that my trash was about 50 yards from the closest little mounds ! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Did I mention that I HATE SNAKES!! ?
