Those are part of the new reduced-budget border defense system.
They work cheap, are low- maintenance, and 100% organic.

There is a Peter Paul and Mary song, I forget the title, but here are some of the lines:

If I say whats on my mind
The radio won't play it
Unless I lay it in-between the lines

Any one remember the name of the song?

I dig Rock and Roll music
I could really get it on in that scene.

No your missing the point this tread is about rattlesnakes and their danger when your outside and music.

But thanks for your post as unauthorized is an interesting choice of word.

I don't think I was ever indifferent to poisonous snakes, but I was really impressed with rattlesnakes when I was Boy Scout and a (Indiana) Conservation Officer who was also a snake expert came to give us a talk.

He brought several bags with snakes (all kinds, not just poisonous) in them, and would dump them out on the table and pick them up as he talked about them. With the copperhead and the water moccasin, he picked them up bare-handed -- he was able to distract them and just reached around behind their heads to snatch them up.

But when he got to the rattlesnake, he said, roughly -- this guy is too fast, i have to use a hook for him. And you could see that the rattlesnake could strike much much faster than the other two poisonous ones. Or maybe better, couldn't see, because that head was just a blur when it moved.

That's still a vivid memory, how fast that snake was.

Thanks yes that is the one I was thinking of. I got close with the lyrics.
