#NoDullMoments1971 #MusicChallenge I'm just gonna post some 1971 albums. "So Long Bannatyne," the Guess Who; well, there was a lot of "huh?" here, but still there were moments like "Rain Dance" and "Pain Train," and they add "Albert Flasher" and "Broken" from the same time on the extended CD.

I'm a slow hiker, but now and then I get a little cardio boost. I stepped about 12 inches from this guy's nose, and leapt like a gazelle diagonally away. In reptile circles, they call me Fred A-scare.

I have drawn these "heartcats" on probably 30 benches in Regional Parks around Sonoma County. Now, I bring peanuts for the birds and squirrels and decorate my drawings. The crows know me at Spring Lake, and will destroy the peanut decoration before I get 50 yards. It makes me oddly happy.

That's a gopher snake. Snake #3 of this year for me. Probably most commonly seen of our six snake species. Non-venomous, but does have teeth, and won't necessary cede the path to you. I walked around behind it and it did not budge.

Gopher snake laid out on a trail, mellow AF, not moving. It's about 3-1/2 feet long.
