I can see I’ve got some serious visiting to do around here. Writing and poetry is my avocation of a sort. However my interests have kind of an odd and broad landing pattern. “Practical archeology” because of one book became a passion for months once upon a time. And yes, yurts too, I considered and studied when thinking of what a house and home might better be. Although electricity, that’s also nice!
Glad you found a little time for poetry and this weeks RWP prompt. My first, this time around. Some poems for years, but always much more alone than this. As with anything, learning never really ends. And tonight I’m just trying to catch up a bit – before the next, and next. Later and again.
Thanks for visiting. It’s great to hear from someone else interested in yurts, archaeology, poetry, etc. Look forward to reading more of your work.
Hi Elizabeth,
I’m a pharmaceutical sales rep who sells antivenom for rattlesnake envenomations in CA, WA, and OR. I have various google alerts set-up for rattlesnake activity. I was able to find your site and wanted to say I appreciate your photos and stories.
I’ve been to every hospital in Oregon and some have more bites than others, and I was curious where you see most rattlesnakes.
Thanks! And be careful. If you get bite have someone take you to the hospital. You’ll be fine.
Cheers,
Andrew
