prune picker

This is the blog of a prune picker. (Native born Californian) Retired oilfield. I am an old man. I blog a lot about my body and getting old. As I approach death life gets more interesting. More interesting is not good. I still drive. I attend sports, music, and civic events. I am writing my memoirs. I attend swim class three times a week. Some of my blogs might be interesting. A lot of my blogs are silly and trivial. None are very long.

Beautiful Koi Pond. (and a snake)

The Koi Pond at John and Kerry's new home is beautiful. It is fun to watch the koi, minnows, and brim swim. I have seen the brim come clear up out of the water after food. Makes a big splash. They are so fast.


What a nice peaceful lovely spot, except for the diamond back snake that came out of the patch of ivy on the opposite side of the pond. The snake swam across the pond through the lily pads and took up a position under the flagstone overhang. I have a concealed weapon permit. I have been using it since John and I saw that snake. I carry a gun around the pond.

Latest News.
I googled to get a picture of the snake. I found out it is a non poisonous diamond back water snake. I can put my gun away.
