@ Big Oil I am also very uncomfortable with snakes. I got bitten once before by a poisonous snake (I stepped on it) but it was a dry bite. So needless to say I am shit scared and sometimes even skrik for a piece of garden hose that lies in a odd position.
Regardless they are beuriful animals and I like them as long as there is no interaction
This one was to close to comfort but somehow I remained calm and even took a pic with the cellphone. Maybe just because I am at a low but that's life, we all face challenges.
The other day we chopped a raccoon and that was sad
but they love the corn fields and I saw many of them running for shelter. I also see many skunks and many toads living in the wet water trails of the pivots in the corn fields. Many haks and so on. If only I had a long lens here but then again I work and long hours and do not often get time off.
I did get to run a few kilometers this morning, and what really impress me and make me to respect American people even more is that they give way (like a generous huge safe space) for a road runner and that is each and every one and 3/4 of them waved at me.
This Country is like any other not perfect but it is dam close to that! What I don't understand about the American culture is that a guy will greet you back and say something like "What's upp' or 'How you doing" but continue walking and don't even here your reply like....I want to stop and say: I am doing fine sir and you? But nope...
Many don't greet but that doesn't mean they are grumpy, like the guy in the sialage compact tractor. I wave and he just look and move on. Later we get stuck in the mud and I got task to ask for help. I stopped him and asked; sir we are stuck in the mud, can you kindly pull the truck out? "Yes no problem I'll be there now now'.
So we got a plan and I had to drive an old John Deere and hold and punch the truck upright with a bale while he pulled it out....poken cool man!!
I really like America so far, there is a lot to like but I am not wrt myself in a good spot. I am keeping up but there is quite a lot of pressure and some of our own South Africans makes it a bit hard
with gossip (running to the boss with everything they see or think...) and a bit of a pissing contest. That typical South African thing where they don't see the sun shining on another man's face and if they can make you look kak it seems rewarding
so yes not all moonlight and Rose's but like I said; I can move on and adapt if it does not work out for me. Now I know first hand what a little part of the States is like.
