“A penny for your thoughts, Jake!”

“Huh? Uh, uh? Oh! I don’t have no stinking thoughts!

“I’ll give you my thoughts for a buck, Paparazzo!” “Hmmm! I don’t think so, Spunk! I know what you’re thinking.”

Almost Sunset

We’ve received 1.55 inches of rain in July so far. A decent amount of rain in comparison to previous months and the past three July’s. The afternoon thunderstorms are a promising sign that we might have a monsoon season this year. Although we need a lot more rain. The river is running low, so we have not had irrigation water since the middle of June.

Bullsnake ¡Olé!

Sunset

Laurie with the Bullsnake. ¡Olé!

A large bullsnake was lying in the road. A large pickup truck rolled over it, but luckily it avoided running over the snake with the truck’s tires. I got out of our car, scooped up the bullsnake, and handed it to Laurie. The snake was squirking around, so she rolled down her wind and let it hang its head out the window like a dog. It calmed down a bit as we drove home. After photographing each other with the snake, I let it go in Rebecca’s Black Bamboo.

It seemed most appropriate that I was wearing an Alice Cooper T-shirt while holding the Bullsnake.

Jake and I saw a coyote on our walk at dusk.

Intermission: A photo taken by Laurie of the forest close to Tristan’s house in Germany.

Car crash Tuesday. There were three accidents within a mile’s stretch of Coors Rd. on my way to Tristan’s house this afternoon.
