We don't know if it was a rattlesnake or a bull snake. In any event it was one big snake. Just a few years ago a neighbor trapped a...

For those of you who have never traveled to a Communist or other type of tyrannical government-run country you will have no frame of reference for much of this article. I apologize for that on one hand yet on the other I’m glad you’ve never had the experience. Unfortunately, I have and I’ve had friends that have been detained while traveling in such countries.
