Joe… your wife is one brave soul. Growing up in Florida, I got accustomed to rattlers and gators, but usually you know they’re lurking. There’s just something about a copperhead that is unsettling. And baby copperheads?! Yuck! Think that’s when you call in your friends at wildlife control! 🙂

I should note here that Marcy’s reaction was far more measured than mine would have been had it been me nearly stepping on the copperhead. Years ago I went out with hiking guru Allen de Hart to scout a trail near Jordan Lake. Up ahead we spotted a hog-nosed snake, a snake that as we edged closer rose like a python and menacingly flicked it’s tongue in our general direction. Allen, fascinated, edged closer; I made like a Flintsone and ran in place for several seconds before disappearing in the opposite direction (a change of shorts may have been involved as well, I can’t remember). That’s about as Jim Fowler as I care to get.

And I thought living in Oregon was an adventure. This clearly outranks the time I got a phone call from my wife (standing on a chair) shouting that I come home and remove the garter snake that the cat dragged in the house.
