Oh, Jeeze, it's already almost 3 bucks a gallon. I never seriously considered a hybrid before, but I think I'm going to look into them next time I buy a car. <sigh>

Hey Jess, Me too! Did you go to a show this weekend?

Sadly, no. Had to cancel, even had a little cabin reserved. I guess you missed the thread. Donald, thinking it was a little garter snake, picked up a baby rattler and got a bite on his left thumb (knuckle).

Luckily, he had a buddy with him, and was within a couple miles of the hospital. He's alright, swelling is almost completely gone, and besides a lot of pain he seems to have full function in his left thumb and hand. He's hoping to get back to work on Monday. Very lucky, but poor guy's been in a lot of pain. Thank goodness for lortab.

Oh my goodness! That is terrible. I am glad he is going to be OK.

Thanks. Me too. It was such an unreal situation. I don't think I've ever even seen a rattlesnake in real life. Also, I didn't know that the babies don't have rattles, just a small hard piece on the back of the tail called a button. Been educational, if nothing else. I know Donald will hesitate before he picks up something that crawls or slithers into his shop again.
