............cataloging my snake tracks from this this morning walk. Took a differet route, stayed in the shade on the wall of the river wash, found six tracks trailing across the wash, could be one snake, but all were in a 100 yard span, nothing to the north of where I started my walk, but many to the south, up stream
.....barometric pressure of massive storm headed our way could be pushing the butterflies east, none passing thru our yard, were some in the wash, but none of the 10-25 count per minute of the past three days
