You really shouldn't throw a cowboy and bull off of a buildind. The landing doesn't go well.
TLS machine. Supported that machine many times over my 34 years of railroad service.
That's how a NEW guy never becomes an OLD guy in that foundry...
During Desert Storm one of our gunships pulled a similar maneuver avoiding a SAM. Recovered at about 500 AGL. Overtorqued all four engines and popped rivets like an addict pops oxy.
Newly hatched corn snake. I've had many of them wind themselves around my fingers. I had a small business. Each year my 73 snakes could turn into hundreds. These little guys sure like to eat a lot. Had to get them to eat at least twice before I would sell the newborns.
If I found a snake, of any persuasion wrapped around my finger, I would have nine fingers.
I bought my first snake BECAUSE I was afraid of snakes. Turned out, afterwards, I made a successful business raising snakes and selling them at Reptile Shows.
Christmas, about eight-years-old, I got a book about snakes. I read it until it fell apart. To this day, I'm fascinated by snakes and enjoy shows on Discovery, Animal Planet, etc. I've seen every Steve Irwin episode about snakes at least twice...but I do not want one anywhere close to striking distance, venomous or not unless in a cage.
Could have something to do with an encounter I had when I was five. Still have vivid memories.
Usually if a snake were to strike at you, it's going to snap and then recoil. Now if you have a mean snake (I've owned a few) or if you have a hungry snake, they may strike and latch on. Either way, the strike is what scares you. The bite usually isn't all that bad unless you 're talking about an Reticulating Python, Rock Python and a few other large snakes. A fully grown rat snakes will not hurt at all. But if you want to start out with a snake that can't bite you, start with a Kenyan Sand Boa. Their mouth is on the bottom of their head and spend most of their time burrowing in sand.
I understand. It is a mindset. I was tired of being afraid and thought the best way to beat my fear is to own a snake. Sure, I got bit. Once the excitement of the first few bites wore off, getting bit was just something else that happens in my life. Yeah, that's weird, but like I said it's a mindset.
