In a well-ordered universe...
Did the almost the same, except it was a water moccasin I mistook for a cow patty. I saw something inanimate and longer than I was tall suddenly turn to life and spring from under my feet. Edit: @Carolina Red you're spot on with the farm pond...that's where I was at.
Off topic, but more interesting than being smothered with coverage of these conventions...
Moccasins are mean, nasty little fecks. If my copperhead encounter had been a moccasin my day would certainly have been ruined. Moccasins don't feck around from what I've experienced in my youth Texas days camping, hiking, and fishing.
True off topic, but there are two snakes running for POTUS.
