I'm glad your ok.

Here in South Mississippi. My property is Copperhead country. I always walk slowly. Iam constantly looking for those saddlebags markings in the landscaping around my property. You never know where they are. We killed three already this year. From April through November, we could encounter one. I pray that you get well soon.

If you were actually from Georgia then you would know better than to be walking around barefoot in your shed in the summertime.
