I Don’t Like Spiders and Snakes

Let me preface by saying I wrote the main body of this piece almost a decade ago. I was going through our archives, and it struck me that it was still relevant today, so I wanted to share it again.

Snakes are everywhere. It really does seem like it nowadays. Everywhere you turn it seems you have to be careful for snakes. They can leap out at you in an instant and spew their venom through their nasty fangs and inflict their pain before you even see them coming.

Around these parts you have the usual like rattlesnakes, copperheads, water mocassins, dirty dealers, liars and thieves.
