Yeah, I knew what your point was about the microchip, in general. And yeah, when it comes to doing so with me or my family (our physical bodies), it ain't happenin'. Notice how I avoided that issue by not even mentioning it. Ha! I did so out of respect for you & your beliefs, not knowing if you considered microchipping one's animal to be the equivalent.



There wasn't/isn't any connection between my religious beliefs and venomous laws, I was just stating who/what I am, which I thought was funny that the three of us are conservative Christians, and unashamed to say so. And for the record, I don't handle rattlesnakes as a show of Faith. I've got all the Faith in the world that I ain't livin' a righteous enough life to be takin' chances like that. Ha!



That reminds me, I was installing carpet in a guy's house up here that said he had done it several times. We were talking about my fancy for snakes, even rattlers, when he said, "If God don't tell you to do, don't do it."



I told him, "Don't worry, I won't." Hahaha!





Also, my Ruby Ridge joke had a very slight bit of truthful feelings because I myself, to an extent, don't like the government telling me what I can/can't do (taking away rights). I just wanted to make sure I had a place to go if I were down there when if/when it takes place. Hahaha!!! Ya'll are more than welcome to come up here as I've got plenty of woods as cushion, and even a few ridges. Hahaha!!!





> > > "It's a lot easier to hide a snake than it is a monkey or a tiger."



That's the exact same thing my wife told a friend of hers when she asked my wife why she married an ol' sneaky snake like me.



Ya'll take care!

Mike
