My thoughts....

Fwc was making things very tough for herpers this year. They wereayartijg to enforce laws that have never been before. I knew a couple of the officers and spoke to them about. It was coming from above and that's all they wanted to say. I believe that PETA and/or the government decided to meddle here because it Now seems that owning reptiles is politically incorrect especially with all the money that was getting passed around under the table. What a better place to start with a hammer fist then the biggest an best herp expo in the world or what used to be that is. I personally don't think I will vend again there after this. Hopefully things will change for the better. 



My experience......

I will have to say getting there this year was tough for me. I ended up working fri and sat for someone because I told someone to go on vacation without thinking about the dates. I ended up with about 5 hours of sleep in 3 days to get there for the fun. I really wouldn't miss it for the world I just hope the debacle that Fwc put on doesn't chase anyone away. 



I can't say that I could of hung out with better people than the ones I did. We had whoopie cushions, fart boxes, brownies rolled into fake poo and lots of drinks while we made plenty of people mad hehe! I have had a rough go of things here lately and these guys  made the living hell that's been my life for the past 5 years worth it! I've had injuries, friends and family stabbing me in the back, friends, family members, and a loved one passing away. Sometimes I wonder WTF is going on with me but I just take the punches as they roll in. I cannot say thank you to my friends enough for the time we had. At the end if the day we all just have some dang snakes in a tote but the moments that we keep are what's precious. 





Warning......

Do not order the 22oz bone in ribeye at the steak in the hilton. I thught this steak would make this fat man happy but nope! I got a $45 piece of leather and oh son did it back me up. I felt like I pooped a brick two days later and thats a long time for me. I am pretty regular especially with the amount of coffee I drink. I will say a couple trips to taco bell and I'm flowing pretty good now. I need to find out how bp stopped their leak because I could use the same to save me on some britches. Maybe I should get a piece of that steak to plug it up? Idk but help is needed.
