 Good friend, Stan sent me these. 

My Dad would have liked them, just too good not to share?

Will Rogers, who died in a 1935 plane crash in Alaska with bush pilot Wiley Post, was one of the greatest political country/cowboy sages this country has ever known. Some of his sayings:

1. Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco.            

2. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day. 

3. There are two theories to arguing with a woman. Neither works.

 4. Never miss a good chance to shut up. 

5. Always drink upstream from the herd. 

6. If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging. 

7. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it and put it back into your pocket. 

8. There are three kinds of men: The ones that learn by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to peeon the electric fence and find out for themselves.

9. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment. 

10. If you're riding' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there.

11. Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier'n puttin' it back. 

12. After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him.

"So there"!

   

Flying Snake

Paradise Flying Snake (Chrysopelea paradisi) also known as the paradise flying snake, doesn't "fly" in the traditional sense, but rather glides through the air by flattening its body and using undulations (wavelike movements) to control its descent. This allows them to travel horizontally between trees, sometimes covering distances of 10 meters or more.
