Actually, how many people do you know who own real-live swords (except artist/writer types?) and biker boots (which are very cool, by the way)? <br /><br />So...I'm glad it wasn't a rattler, and all, but if it was, I'd still have expected someone to kill it. Those things are dangerous, I tell ya! I know they're endangered, but do they really have to live in our area?<br /><br />Still, awesome story! <br /><br />NicholeNichole Gileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12536148445303996747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568342056330504573.post-72047597088479798372009-07-16T17:54:10.971-06:002009-07-16T17:54:10.971-06:00Thanks everyone, glad you liked it.

I was afraid people would think I named him after Barack Obama and I would not do that. I only heard of B.O. for the first time a few months after my sons birth.<br /><br />Tamara-I like to be familiar with the tools of the trade I write about, I have lots of swords and other archaic weapons, that I have taken martial arts lessons with. But yea the neighbors probably would think I was a weirdo if they saw.<br /><br />I will probably post the Sacred Grove snake story very soon then glad people are interested.nephite blood spartan hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17092519999184585295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568342056330504573.post-17326088160628187302009-07-16T14:19:17.245-06:002009-07-16T14:19:17.245-06:00Awesome post, David!

Sorry--I don't know why it didn't show up in the message folder. I saw it in my Gmail account. One of these days I'll switch over from my yahoo... but right now Gmail gets pretty neglected.<br /><br />Your book sounds awesome!

Too bad the thing was already dead, I would have liked to hear about the battle between serpent and sword. Seriously, swords are too cool! But I wonder what your neighbours would have been thinking if they'd seen you go out with that thing in your hand? Would it be a toss up between "David, if you want to cut the grass, a scythe would be easier!" and "Honey, get in the car and lock the doors, that boy's gettin' medieval!" ?<br /><br />And here I was thinking you nicknamed your son after Jack Bauer from 24 and just forgot the E. :-)Melanie Goldmundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00270135660110676225noreply@blogger.com
