Snake Bite Pond

Category: dribblings

Mr. Fleegan and I have found a cool new place to walk Roxie. A couple miles from our house the city has built a new sports complex (baseball fields). It’s called the Vivian Lee Maddox Sports Complex. La dee da. But once you go past the ball fields there’s a walking track and *ahem* a Frisbee™ golf course.

This Frisbee™ golf course is a terrible idea because while the “holes” are finished, the wooded area around it has not been totally cleared out yet. Also, I guess to make it more challenging the “holes” or goals or whatever you call the chain-y catcher-y things are placed close to this awful looking pond and various other creeks and ditches. What I’m trying to get at here is that it’s an awesome place to get bitten by a snake. And I guess the city wants to make it even easier by putting the “sport” goals right next to Snake Town.

So instead of saying, “Hey, let’s go walk Roxie at the Vivian Lee Maddox Sports Complex.”

we instead call it Snake Bite Pond.

I wish we could call it Snake Bite Lake, because it’s easier to say, but alas, it is a pond.

Mr. Fleegan is the Master Stone Skipper. count those rings!
