I came down from Mexico by speedboat and spent a four days on Caye Cauker, really nice. Belize city had a distinct grimyness from what I saw. It was really magical paddling around with massive tarpons below. I probably bit off a little too much one day doing a full circuit of the northern and southern island (wind picked up) but I loved the climate in early February. As I'm based in Colombia now full time it was easy before covid to take an internal flight to San Andrés, when there I think of Belize a lot, I must return some day.
An emotional Cuban who came over to the United States as a 12 year old child warns us about Communists and the lies and hardships his family had to endure after they took over. He draws parallels between the Radical Leftists in the United States now and the Communists in Cuba.
Aren’t Coral snakes supposed to be pretty docile? Although their poison is potent, their fangs are tiny, requiring them to chew on you a while to give a decent dose. Stop messing with them! Hell, even the more aggressive Cottonmouths would get out of our way while a friend and I jogged in knee high water in the Everglades. Please excuse me, I will finish this post after I take a call from a Mr. Darwin.
Believe in something, even if it means sacraficing everyone. Religious right and the communists have a lot of common.
Is it worth it to find out? The scenario was, I was standing outside in the yard of a relative's house, chatting with the relative. We're facing each other. The next thing I know, he grabbed a shovel right nearby and ran behind me and hacked the thing in two. He said he saw it slithering right to where I was standing and whacked it as it got within 4 feet of me. He said it was moving really quick I was wearing shorts with no socks or shoes of course, since it was fricking summer. The same bloody thing happened the next day. Turns out they had made a nest near there by the foundation of the home, so it was prolly a male/female combo.
I once got bit after stepping in a nest of Cottonmouths. After 3 days of intense pain and suffering, they all died. Sorry, I’m going to hell for that one.
Sure they were Coral snakes and not King snakes? Red(Banding) touches yellow, kill a fellow; Red touches black, good for jack.
