El Serpent Lies in Wait

No matter the effort to suppress and surpass, pride always seems to find a hole to inject the toxins deep inside. Fairing the storm hoping for the sun to shine, wasn’t until after the last rain drop hit the deck, a realization, there’s no water in the bucket left to drink. Looking back at the clouds, licking sand paper induced lips, maybe under the lightning was exactly where the need was to be.

A struggle of survival, whether it be the wilderness or mental thought process, dancing under the clap of thunder while the bass rings the bell of faith in a sanctuary where the gospel sings out. Wanting answers, justice, or maybe some peace, it’s never found in the place it supposed to hang out. Self abandonment concerning the situation being played on the big screen, a look in the mirror shows the skeleton of reflection hiding in the hull.

Turning the sails to face it head on, nothing left but a crusty smile and yellow teeth reflecting the light in an attempt to finalize the quest. A sip from the jug of rum with one hand at the helm, flying straight into the eye of the hurricane fomenting at the idea that it’s an adventure of growth you’ll never truly overcome.

Sincerely,
Nagolbud

A Fight to the Death

It’s always interesting to see how others react when you have to kill something to protect your homestead animals. Some will say “well it’s the food chain” while others say “just re-locate the animal” and on and on the zombormie excuses go..

The reality is however, on my homestead, I am at the top of said “food chain” and my job is literally to protect my animals. Re-locating a pest predator is one of the worst things you can do as a responsible caretaker of the land, as you simply make the problem someone else’s. At the end of the day, it’s better to take care of the issue and utilize it for what you can. It’s just part of this lifestyle and taking responsibility for yourself and your own.

In this case, a nice meaty meal for the dogs, and a cool skin to remember the experience. This time, the boa had my rooster in a death hug, luckily I was doing yard work at the time and heard the commotion, running over with my machete I grabbed the vile beast and chucked it out from the brush and with a swift slice removed it’s head.

Later that day I walked outside and found another smaller one hanging out by the house, and in many cases, these snakes can hold venom. It’s not worth the risk for me or my dogs to lose a life over a stupid snake who will most likely try and eat my rabbits, chickens, ect. That same night, I spotted a coral snake as well, which is extremely venomous, heart racing, I decided to avoid that one for the night. All in all, 3 snakes in 48 hours with only a machete to decide the fate of us all. Until next time..

Sincerely,
