We saw lots of snakes at our grandparent's ranch, but never in the outhouse!

I've been in several outhouses over my lifetime and I have never saw a snake in one, gues whos territory it is is very obvious.

Many snakes go where they will find something to eat, like mice or other rodents. I would imagine that outhouses don't have many rodents!

Guess the flies run them off.Plus rats have limits to what they will put up with.

Years ago, our city decided the best way to control residential uncontrolled intersections was to put in roundabouts. They planted trees in the center for some reason or another.
The first time my son saw one, he said "That's a stupid place to plant a tree..."

They've done that around here in places as well. NO ONE knows how to use them. There are wrecks constantly at them. Stupid idea IMO

About a mile from me is where the single room school from a century ago stands. There's a huge oak tree next to it to shade the building. To this day, the road goes down to 1 lane (not each way, total).

Have to tell this...
Once I flew into Denver around 1am. I was standing in the car rental line with a dozen people in front of me. I started talking to the guy in front of me to pass the time… He looked familiar. Turns out he was one of 3 vets in n. america who specialized in grizzly bears (at that time). He’d been on dozens of nature shows in the 80’s and 90’s.

Being overly tired and a bit silly I asked “When you examine a grizzly bear… How do you get him to turn his head and cough?”

He fired right back… “That’s not so bad… It’s the prostate exams that are Hell!”

I still laugh when I remember that…

When I was a teenager our little town had a baseball field at the end of the baseball field was a concrete basket ball court. You had to drive by the basketball court to get into the park. After you passed the basketball court there was a huge pen oak in the middle of the road. That being said me and 3 buddies were driving around one summer day in a 74 Trans Am I had worked by butt off to get. There was a baseball game going on at the time and we decided to drive through there and see if there was any of our friends there. As we were passing the basketball court there happened to be a very well endowed girl bouncing a basketball on the court that caught everyone in the cars eye including mine. Since we were ogling the girl we smashed into the tree tearing the whole front end off of my car. Never seen a bigger smile on a womans face in my life!

The disaster would be ending up on a road like that at night, obviously in the backcountry, if you didn't normally travel there and knew nothing of the place. I would call that a "navigation failure" for a clueless urbanite. Don't trust Google Maps!

A single roundabout throws many people off. At I-70 and Pecos in Denver is a double roundabout. I first heard about it from someone cutting my hair. There is a school in the southwest corner of that intersection. Children have to walk through there on their way to school. Now I have been through that roundabout a couple times. I am very careful and my head is on a swivel, looking and double checking to make sure I'll get through without getting hit. I know there are news stories about people just going straight and damaging their cars.

At the time you thought it might have been worth it I bet???

While being stationed in Viet Nam I went to Australia for R&R. Mini/Micro skirts were the fashion, and I had never seen them in the states. I was walking down the sidewalk in Sidney Australia when a gal just like the one in the video walked by me. I continued to walk, but my eyes and head followed her. I walked right into a telephone pole. People on the sidewalk were laughing at me. Thanks for the memory.

The first one in town was a triple. To make it even worse there is a big truck stop at the exit. I have seen more stupid drivers in roundabouts than anywhere else.

When I was a kid our road went around a tree. It must have been important to someone because there were barricades all the way around it.

Mind if I ask what years you were in 'Nam? Ever run in to any ASA (Army Security Agency) members? My Dad was there from '64 to '68 I believe. He was a Morse code operator with the ASA.

#3 at home, #1 for school lunches, and #2 would have been traded to some other less discerning kid at school for a #1.
