My second day of actual retirement I decided to take a nice relaxing hike up Shaw Butte. It was clear, cool (well not hot), and beautiful up there. A thought kept running through my mind, “snake on the trail”. I don’t know why, but sure as summer temperatures go over 100, as the trail curved around the mountain a buzz startled me. At first that snake was invisible but when it finally moved a little it came into view. I took out my new phone/camera/internet connection/gps/entertainment center (and on and on) and took a picture. About that time another group of hikers came up and we all stood around amazed at how invisible it was. If not for that buzz I would have walked right past it.
