Mojavegreen,
Please explain to me where the veiled threat is? Just as you stated, if you gamble long enough you will lose you pants, eventualy. Just so, if you go around threatening to shoot people long enough, eventualy some one may shoot you first.That is the law of averages. Also it is Biblical ; He who lives by the sword shall die by the sword.
I have been current on all postings here, and EVERY one has a personal agenda. Like my dad used to point out " If you do'nt have an agenda you aint living."
Let me know if you are in the area Dean, I will give you the special tour.
Funny thing... In my many trips to Gold Strike hot springs I have only seen one snake. I thought it was a mojave green.But after some research I found it was only a garden snake that was similar.
P.S. I like the mature tone this forum seems to have now.
