Thank you
@Kingbee for airing up my tires on this brisk, gloomy day. Headwinds are much worse when you have only 40 psi on 85psi required tires.
Also, it helped me scoot past the juvenile cottonmouth with his mouth wide open in the middle of the road, which looked like a harmless crooked stick at first.
The county has cleared all the bear grass on the roadside of the ditch where the snakes (not yet hibernating) hide while hunting. The ditch is draining well now, but the snakes have been rustled up and they are not amused.
