It makes a ‘difference’…
So we get to the work site and are greeted with this ‘lovely’ sign…
Oh goody… Sigh…
And we’re gonna be outside…
And the snakes are protected…
Including the poisonous ones. Questions were asked, and the response was, “Well, screaming like a little girl and running like hell IS appropriate…”
And I have a scientist that is deathly afraid of snakes… Oh double joy… But I am NOT going to hold his hand…
And then there’s the ‘issue’ of standardized signage…
Which ONLY works if things ARE actually standardized…
Apparently the location that decided to make up the signage has ‘new’ facilities, and the flush button is on the bottom, unlike most of the field facilities, which have a mixture of ‘older’ units… 🙂
And it’s pretty bad when one goes into a store looking for a candy bar and there is not a single recognizable candy bar other than M&Ms…

Machete onna stik.
Chop, shovel, shut up.
Works for the Aussies.
Coconut- Except where ‘I’ am… sigh… Four foot Carpet Python yesterday at the work site, stuck a road cone in his vicinity and called the Ranger, who said it was his 4th of the morning…
at least pythons are nonvenomous.
Typical government establishment – snakes are protected, people are not…and the bureaucrats don’t know which end is up.
If the snakes are protected by the government, are they civil serpents?
+1. You do lead an interesting life.
+1 Mrs. Crankipants!
Sorry to hear of the difficulties in your part of the globe, sir. May you return home soon!
Snakes AND the poor man can’t get his hands on a Snickers bar??? I think he should return home immediately!
Snakes are protected? How many years do you get for ushering it along to snake hell?
Python are no problem but the brown snakes would become “good snakes” in a heart beat.
What are they going to do to you, send you to a penal colony?
Ran over one of those snakes just north of Toowoomba one time.
Thought we hit a speed bump.
I’ll be down there in a couple weeks, and check out the candy bars. Never thought of it before. I’m usually grabbing a brick of XXXX Bitter.
What does the rest of the (nuts) sticker in the upper right hand corner say…?
We got poisonous snakes, noflush toilets, candyass scientists and bars in N Kaliforniastan, hurry home!
correction: Upper “Left” hand corner
“Department of Defence”
“Defence Support Group”
Hopefully the rest of them are a bit cleverer.
Laura- True!
Tim- Things ‘are’ done a bit differently down here, as you know…
Mrs. C/WSF/Rev- LOL, gotta ask that question this morning… 🙂
CP- Dunno…
Gerry- Heh, good point…
Skul- Travel safe! And the area DOES have it’s good points… (Or so I’m told)… Little Creatures… 🙂
Dammit- I’ll do another post on that… 😀
I saw the sign and thought, wait, Jim said he was traveling AWAY from DC?
Not much different being Down Under than being in the brush in southern Arizona.
Step lively, lad!
Only good snake is a dead snake.

I hate snakes
Brigid- Yeah… 🙂 At least THESE snakes are honest about their intentions…
WN- Stepping over here boss… Stepping over here!!!
Ed/Rick- LOL, not over here…
