I Love You Mom

The following are conversations or encounters I have had during the past month

  • A student informed me of a "Rattle looking snake" in the school hallway.  It's dead.
  • Rattlesnakes are actually quite common.
  • A scorpion bum rushed me at my house.
  • A raccoon resembling a hotdog eating contest victor has invaded my back porch but can't seem to show up when I'm armed.
  • Lizards are as numerous as gnats.
  • Earthquakes are common.
  • This area has an extremely high concentration of sex offenders.
  • Mountain Lions are prevalent and, apparently, will stalk and kill our lunch lady's Bullmastiffs.
  • That same lunch lady informed me that the Mexican Cartel prefers our area to grow their "cash crop" because of its numerous mountain springs.
  • The local drug eradication team lands fully armed on our baseball diamond in helicopters from time to time.
  • Forest fires are very common.  Last night, the nearby ridge was glowing with pretty red and white colors.
Other than that, things are pretty safe.
