Two retired high school teachers from Southern California move to a 100 acre ranch in rural Northern New Mexico. Why the name? 510 is our livestock brand, so Nickel and Dime it is.

Northern New Mexico Traffic Report
The other day I answered a phone call from a local friend.
Friend: Hey Bridget! How are you?
Bridget: I'm fine! How are you?
Friend: Doing good. Hey, have you driven on the highway to Mora lately?
Bridget: Nope.
Friend: Well, at Mile Marker 5 there's a big old dead rattlesnake, about 8 inches around! Somebody already cut off the rattles.
Bridget: Cool! We're going that way tomorrow and I'll check it out.
Friend: It's really big. Okay, bye.
Bridget: Bye

Hilarious my friend...now what can you make and show us from the remains??
ReplyDeleteI don't see it... LOL!
ReplyDeleteYou live a way different life. We saw a small rattler on the street in Folsom a couple of days ago. He was just trying to stay away from our car. (We had backed up to see it.) It was on the way to a small creek, I think. One was near. We allowed him to pass unharmed... hope he eats lots of rodents in his lifetime.
