    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Prowler at the bird feeder again...

Connie found this gray rat snake sitting on a branch near the bird feeders, obviously waiting for an unwary bird to get too close. So of course I had to snatch him up and we relocated him out to the national forest. Didn't try to bite but squirmed a bit. I rarely see the gray rat snakes around here try to bite when they are handled. And even then, it's only because they think a bird actually did get too close.....

And took a little video as well using the Panasonic FMZ-1000. Didn't take at 4K, though, and not sure why, but I'm sure it was my fault.

 
Gorgeous photo! Geez, all I found this past week were two little tiny Ringneck snakes in my house, lol.
