Gas Pains

Tom grew up in Milwaukee, bartended in Wauwatosa in the '70s and moved here in 1984.

Commentary, observations and musings about the outdoors, life in general and maybe Tosa politics and personalities will be the order of the day. He savors a lively debate as much as terrific cooking.

Guess The Critter

Guess the critter

Those of you who know me also know that there is practically nothing I like better than a good reptile or amphibian.

If push came to shove I could even sell snake oil.

Last weekend my lovely daughter was sitting on the porch reading and when she stood and stepped-off the stairs this four foot-long beauty slithered across her path.

Have you ever seen a grown person leap into the air and peddle their feet while airborne - just like in the cartoons?

I don't know who was more startled - the snake or her.

Can you ID this beauty?
