I think this would make me feel dizzy every time I walked into the bathroom.

I love Grandma's smile in this photo.

4 years agoBest quote I've seen in quite some time!
"one should have a bad room once in awhile so that you know you’ve really been someplace"
I've been ID-ing dead snakes for some time. Back in the '60s I learned that Herpetologists refer to a dead on the road specimen as a DOR. I spent a few years helping touring cyclists ID critters on "the other" site, and more recently here as well. I know from experience it is hard to look up IDs with limited internet, and limited time and limited energy. My most recent (last?) tour (Heart Attack Comeback) still has many critters with no name, but since hit count dropped to almost zero after I finished the ride, it became pointless, so it stays without IDs.
That said, if you have curiosity about a creature, post a picture. Dead or alive, I will give it a shot. Often times an ID can be made using a google image search combined with a meager amount of knowledge. Occasionally, a previous search will trigger the old brain and an instantaneous ID results, so all that is needed is to find a good image match on a reliable site.
You are absolutely right. I just looked them up and that is exactly what they are. Thanks Scott.
4 years agoI was mostly risking horrible nightmares, which I have had about snakes. I have some sort of primal fear of them.
4 years agoI think you are right again. I never even thought about identifying a dead snake.
4 years agoThe exchange rate is 8800 Kip per US$. So, for less than four bucks you could stand by this machine and slam four of them babies.
4 years agoThe river is incredibly narrow at this point too. Apparently, in the rainy season, when there is a lot more water flowing, there are huge whirlpools here. This spot is thus called the Navel of the Mekong.
4 years agoLeave it to you, Steve, to research pastries! Yes, Didier owns Pascaline. 4552 Gravenstein Hwy. N. Sebastopol, CA. When Trump is no longer President please come to The States and look him up. Having met him I would bet that his pastries have as much gusto as he does. A true joy to be with.
