Yeah looking back it probably was hilarious, and probably deserved the Benny Hill theme. One friend started cracking up at the groundhog being dragged.

But dog okay after being bit, up to date on shots and it got cleaned, and groundhog not hurt. I was worried about the poor thing. So everyone's okay, at least it will once I get Momma.

You asked for it.

I used to like watching Benny Hill as a kid, all those girls in bikinis had me like

But looking back these days it seems so tame

Benny was a one-of-a-kind.

Just watched the forecast. I can't believe it. Down to 34 F tonight with areas of frost. Record breaking heat coming for the weekend, around 90 F.

I'll take it. Anything but more rain!

Darn cold this morning but sunny and warming up. Headed for 65 F. Perfect for herping. On my way out the door to go herp Salmon creek. Wish me luck!

I think that red spots are going to have to wait. I got there and there were county workers everywhere, raising all kinds of hell clearing blackberries and planting native trees in the spots where I usually find lots of snakes basking. Didn't see a single one. That sucks. Plenty of turtles in the pond though. Must have been 30 of them all crammed onto one log way out in the middle.

One positive thing about all the activity there; The area looks very different than it did two years ago. Most of the invasive plants are gone and it's looking more like it should. They're doing a great job of restoring it to it's natural state, and the salmon are returning to the creek in greater numbers each year. 20 years ago, all the salmon were gone from Salmon creek. In the 1960's you could practically cross the creek by walking on their backs, or so I'm told. By 1980 they were gone.

This weekend is going to be scorching hot and i have other plans. Going to Portland for SAT market, among other things. Then I'm returning to Dupont on Monday, herping the Nisqually delta (Puget Sound) on Tues or WED. I'll have to put off herping for concinnus' until first week of June when I return to the Portland area.
