2008 Presidential Elections

Mark Collins showed me this video... this guy has a lot of good points, and he's very well spoken. If you have the time, i'd highly recommend watching this video. Definitely food for thought.

Water Head Copper Moccasin. lol.


So today we (me, my dad, and my brother josh) only worked a half day. After work we figured we’d go exploring a nearby mountain. Upon arriving, we learned it would be $17 per person to take the ski lift to the top. None of us were really in a mood to spend that kind of money, so we decided to try and hike up. (I might add this is a 10,000ft peak) After getting several bottles of water, off we went. After hiking a few hundred feet, Dad told us to watch out for snakes. At the time, I completely brushed it off, assuming Dad was joking. Little did I know... About an hour later, I had wandered about 100 yards ahead of Josh and Dad. I pulled myself over this rock, only to find a Rattle Snake coiled up just a few feet in front of me. All I can say is my prayer life quadrupled within milliseconds. Forget moving slowly like they say... I JUMPED. I was NOT staying around there. haha. As soon as I had gotten what I deemed to be a safe distance from the snake, I thought that I had better take a picture or no one would believe me. I slowly crawled back on top of the rock, and took a quick picture as the snake slithered under a rock. All I can say is I experienced enough of a scare to last me the rest of the year. The picture you see is the one I took... Anyways. That's all for now folks.
