snake

HOLY S..T!!!! THERES A SNAKE IN THE ROAD!!!!!! occasionally, when i wore a younger mans clothes {billy joel-"piano man"} i would get restless and bored, grab a small pack and my sleeping bag, walk to the highway and stick my thumb out, and say "you and me lord" and proceed to have an adventure or two. hitchhiking thru west texas in the dark is an interesting experience. if you are impatient like me and must walk when not ridingyou must be careful of the snakes who crawl onto the edge of the roadway to take advantage of the heat stored up in the asphalt during the day. when a vehicle passes, its headlights show a portion of the road ahead. look carefully and walk to the edge of your visibility. its slower than striding confidently forward, but i suspect a serpent, finding himself being trod upon, may be inclined to turn around and BICHU!!!
