Well, not audio related...but you all are trying not to work, right?
I was walking my pooch Niki at the state park by our house last night and came within a couple of feet of a rattle snake. Not the first time, but it's fresh in my mind. This was the first one at the park that actually rattled at us. A couple of months ago, Niki was sniffing a tree trunk, and I looked down to see that she was standing over the top of a rattler that was all coiled up. It was a cool customer though and didn't even move. Got lucky on that one.
A couple of weeks ago we were in another "wilderness" area and were surrounded by tall bushes when we found ourselves in the middle of a pack of javelina (about 50 pounds, look like wild pigs but are actually giant rodents). They normally will just leave us alone or run off, but one of them challenged us. He even circled around us through the bushes to do it again. I'll have to upload a picture of skull for you all. Their teeth are huge and sharp. Niki couldn't care less. She was all "why aren't we still walking." I was the one that got nervous. Yeah, we could have taken the javelina, but I have no desire to hurt them. Eventually got past the guy, though.
Anyway, a little light reading for your work day.
