Oh, and of course, great picture! I meant to say that, but I got too excited about rattlesnakes.

EWa native here. As good a time as any to share rattlesnake tips.
- If you are walking and hear a rattle, slowly back up the way you came.
- If someone is bitten, do not suck then venom out with your mouth or apply a tourniquet.
- Call 911 and start making your way to the nearest medical facility.
- Keep the bite wound below the heart if possible and try to keep the victim calm.

Yeah, the thing about rattlesnakes is that they're usually shockingly polite. When humans are involved, the rattle means "yo, you're getting a little close and I'm spooked". But they're more likely to try to get away then to fight something like 20+ times their size.
Glad you're still with us!
