I've been busy as poo poo lately, but maybe someday in the far-off future I'll be able to go hiking again. We got snow above 9000' a few nights ago, apparently, it didn't stick around much, but Angel Fire has a decent snowpack already and it's only a matter of time before it starts falling decently around my city too. I can't wait  I LOVE hiking in the snow.

i am studying to get my hunting license so that i can go on to get my falconry license  i love hiking & i cant wait to start hunting too. i dont have any experience hunting or any friends who hunt but in order to be a falconer you have to study as an apprentice under a general-level or master falconer, so i'm not going in totally blindheres a picture of a harris hawk from this one time i went to a falconry learning place, $50 to learn the very basics and have a hawk land on your arm, money well spent imho  this little guy was probably like 4 pounds heavy but his grip on my arm even though the leather gauntlet was like a really angry person squeezing my wrist. also this particular hawk was held by the dos equis beer guy in a photoshoot for GQ so it was basically like meeting a celebrity |

I could tell a story. One time I almost got fired for refusing to kill a snake. At the time I was working at this house:  That picture was taken in April, when the daffodils were blooming. I was one of two full-time live-in workers on the property; the other was a carpenter, mechanic, woodsman and all-around handyman who was much older than I, and a native to the area. In addition to feeding the daffodils (they eat bone meal) and general maintenance of the grounds, I was tasked with rehabilitating an herb and vegetable garden that had been allowed to run wild for four years prior to my arrival. The previous holder of my post had "put the garden to sleep" (i.e. prepared the beds for the winter) by laying down a series of plastic tarps; the owner of the property, however, had moved to the other side of the country for several years, and hadn't kept the gardener on in their absence. So the tarps were neglected, and by the time I showed up the plastic was shredded into pieces and imbedded into the soil from four years of wind, rain, snow, and hail. This in itself wasn't a big problem; the plastic was easy to remove by hand. But it had created a series of tiny tent-like structures in the weeds that a local tribe of garter snakes had made their home. The owner of the property was (is) a great lover of the garden, and in fact had only hired me because their demanding schedule made it too difficult for them to devote the time and energy to the land that it required. But on every possible occasion they would join me, digging trenches and pulling weeds, and when they became too tired to work (they were much older than I) they would direct my labors and lend advice. Unfortunately, they also had a deep fear of animals. Especially snakes. After the first encounter of the season, which involved my employer shrieking like they'd been shot and fleeing the vegetable garden, I was instructed to massacre every snake I encountered. I, however, was not inclined to follow this instruction; the tiny snakes which inhabit the region in which I was employed are nonvenomous, gentle-natured, and harmless, and I did not wish to kill them. Instead I chased them out of the garden. But my employer one day witnessed me lackadaisically nudging a snake with my shovel instead of ferociously cleaving it into two pieces, and accused me of being a "sympathizer". They called the other handyman over from where he was weather-proofing a small shed and had him kill the snake. I'd never seen anything writhe so horribly in my life. It was deeply unpleasant. Relations between myself and my employer were tense for weeks afterward, though they did eventually normalize. I was involved in the murder of a woodchuck later in the season also. Woof. I really liked my employer, and the garden was beautiful and varied; most of it was it had the character of a botanical garden, containing rare plants from all over the world. Indoors there was a sunroom wherein there were beautiful flowing cacti and more fragile non-native plants. I learned so much about flowers from my employer. Peonies were a big part of my job, during their growing season; if they aren't properly supported, their blooms will get so big that they'll snap themselves in half under their own weight, so a lot of time and energy was spent gathering and distributing proper support systems for them. Sorry. I don't know how much reminiscing is appropriate here. I eventually left that job, in part because I disliked killing animals I didn't intend to eat. It felt somehow wasteful. Anyway. That's my story. I know it's a little different than the other ones in the thread but I hope it isn't too out of place to be a contribution. |

I recognize that this thread is neither the time nor the place, but I request that you and I have a serious conversation at some point. Though I am unsure how to go about doing it, there is much that I wish to discuss with you. I hope that you will find yourself amenable to this. I also hope that you will forgive my bluntness; I am I never learned to be tactful. To be fair, that was an accurate portrayal of the situation; I did indeed sympathize with the snake. |

I did, however, follow his posting career closely, and I was disappointed when he was run out of BYOB. Besides, I registered in 2007: that would be a hell of a long con. GEExCEE posted:Cool. Do you know if the house was haunted? The house is not haunted by supernatural forces; an argument could be made that the house is haunted by a story. I am not sure whether to make that argument; I am concerned that in doing so I will reveal more about myself than I have intended to. For example: I did not mention that my former employer planted the thousands of daffodils depicted in the photo as a gesture of apology to Wordsworth, though I am doing so now only to illustrate that there is much more to the story that I have not discussed and should not mention. I'm not sure what is appropriate, ever; most persons find what I believe to be important to be precisely those things that one should never discuss or mention. I also am concerned that I would, in the telling, hold my former employer up as an object of ridicule. While we eventually discovered that our thinking diverged in a serious way, of which the snake incident was an illustrative example, my former employer is a person of great seriousness and intelligence whom I still have great respect for, and who was kinder to me than I perhaps deserved. GEExCEE posted:Would you know if maybe it would be possible to get divorced there? I do know of one circumstance wherein my former employer was to permit a marriage on the grounds of that house, but the wedding never occurred. Probably the divorce of a stranger would be out of the question. I recognize, however, that you are being facetious, therefore I further respond: ho ho ho. GEExCEE posted:My name is Ingmar Krump. I am the caretaker of these grounds, custodian of the manor, and chief butler to Mr. Dracula. I'd better watch out for Batman. In all seriousness, though, I I've led a strange life. fema crisis actor posted:It's your writing, it's good, and that was well timed Oh okay thank you  meteloides posted:snakes are really cool and you're a good person Thank you. I would definitely kill a Diamondback though if it proved necessary; those things do not gently caress around. |

there would never be a reason to kill a diamondback well i guess if it was inhabiting your outhouse or something and you had no other way to move it still even then i'd try to capture it live using a bucket on a stick or something, and let it go out in the wild; snakes are chill and don't want to hurt humans i heard once that most serious snake bites result from idiots daring each other to pick up the snake
