Musing of one thinking about a nonagenerian who coined the phrase, "I may be old but I'm feeble" and then bragged about it.

Many years ago when we lived on the Mohave and son Mike was a little tyke, he had an interesting adventure.

The desert around the place was full of flora and fauna and a railroad ran right next to it.  One day I went out to look for Mike and found him sitting on an old remnant of a packing case which consisted of planks nailed onto 2x4’s.  He was sitting on top, and directly underneath him was a sidewinder rattlesnake, asleep.  Somehow I got the snake away from the area so Mike could be rescued.   It just goes to show some people live charmed lives.
