I've seen people use the kind you can buy in almost any department store...small and plastic, sometime in a flower design.

A daisy one would be awesome!! Maybe if I ask my uncle if I can borrow his tools to make one, he'll just make it for me.......

Speaking of snakes:

Once, many and long ago, my little sister -- who would have been 10 or 12 at the time -- spent a lot of time swimming at her best friend's house across the street. They had an in-ground pool with a concrete patio all around it, which, in our eyes made them "rich."

Well, this one day she came home with a story about how Mr. Harden -- a fearsome man who would come out at 5:30 each afternoon and bellow for his children (scattered about the neighborhood at play) to come in for supper -- had found what we used to call "garden snakes" on his patio. He cornered it and picked it up by its tail, swung it around once and smacked its head down on the concrete before tossing it over the fence into the willies beyond the back yard.

At this point, my brother (16?, 17? at this point) pipes up with this completely deadpan expression on his face with:

"Oh, they love that!"

You should have heard my mother laugh.

It was a thing she would lose the ability to do in the fullness of time (another story; another time), but she laughed that day, boys and girls.

Yes she did!

Since I knew sitting in the ER would mean hours of doing nothing I decided to bring Joyland. I figured I'd get far enough into it, and maybe it would finally grab me. Didn't work. Still cannot get into that book.

However, there was entertainment at the hospital. There were the two guys with police escorts. I'm pretty sure that 's where the skunks pot smell was coming from. While the one guy was getting stitches in his head, I think mr. Inside-out shirt sobered up.

Four hours later...ds has two broken toes. Well, I guess that's unfair. The toes were broken before we got there...they were only diagnosed there.
