Well….haven’t really just noodled around in a while but today seems like one of those days since I am still too shocked to write about ole Trump asking Russia to hack Hillary….yep, but that’s not what this about…there have been a few things on the trail lately that were just these small flashes that just go in and then out of your brain and only leave a shadow that you only remember briefly…that happened a few times the past few days and, now that I remember them, I wanted to talk about it a bit…out on the ride over the weekend, I come upon a young woman, maybe in her middle teens walking barefoot down the trail but the weird thing was that she had a three foot python wrapped around her arm and neck and  had a look on her face that it was just the most natural thing to do…I’m sure I’ve never seen that before….a few days back, heading into the woods where the deranged bee attacked me, I come upon this really cool box turtle just sitting in the middle of the trail….it had  cool yellow stripes on a black background shell….I just missed it and kept riding, hoping it would still be there after the half mile run through the woods…and it was, still just sitting there so I had to get photos and then move it off the trail so no idiots would hurt it…a pretty cool thing…oh, and there was a huge Garter snake just sitting on the trail yesterday…took off like crazy when I ran near it…now, that’s not that unusual…but it was interesting to me….
