  1. Pastorius,What is it with CBS? Are they afraid of aeinarppg bigoted or are they afraid of angering Muslims, or do they actually want us to forgot our own history, because there’s something about it that’s uncomfortable for them? What on Earth?

  2. Unfortunately. From the Florida Museum Of Natural History:

    “Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnakes are found throughout the state of Florida, including several barrier islands and the Florida Keys….(they) are often found in pine flatwoods, longleaf pine and turkey oak, sand pine scrub areas, and coastal barrier islands. These habitats contain palmetto thickets and Gopher Tortoise burrows in which the Diamondback Rattlesnake may seek refuge. Humans have invaded many of Florida’s pine flatwoods and scrub areas which now contain farms, homes and shopping plazas. As a result, the displaced Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnakes may be turn up in backyards, golf courses, and even parking lots.

    Scary, huh?
