I had 3 encounters with local wildlife today. I was packing up the car to head to the beach this morning. I had my hands full of beach stuff and when I got to the car to put the stuff inside, I noticed something moving right beside my foot. It was a [B]pygmy rattlesnake[/B]. I had stepped right over it and my foot (in flip flops) was about 6 inches from it! Luckily he was heading away from me when I saw him, and didn't stike at my foot. Whew. I get to the beach, and am happily floating on my back. After a while, I stand up and notice a [B]jellyfish[/B] floating next to where my head had been. Close call number 2. Heading back to shore after the jellyfish incident, I step on a [B]stingray[/B]. He shoots out from under my foot, scares the crap out of me, but doesn't sting me. I think I am going to stay inside the rest of the weekend.
