I've had snake, it was good. I will try almost anything at least once.

Swamp people,lol That is a show I believe about Louisiana and Mississippi swamps. You are very close to the lake also! Nice! I do not know how to swim, (yeah right coming froman island) but love the water, Water in a roofed pool that is. No ocean, lake or anything else. I like the ocean more than anything and I would go in for a bit and not far in if it is a cloudy day. Cannot stand the sun and by the ocean it is worse because it sticks on me with the salt of the water. I go home and I am either inside most of the time, in a car with ac or if outside, must wear a long sleeve shirt. Now imagine at 100 heat, I just drench of sweat every day back home.

Ah Dreamz, you always make me smile. What was that movie from the 50s or 60s. "Creature from the black lagoon"? That could be me. I've dived from Isle Royale to the cenotes of the Yucatan. Shipwrecks from Virginia & North Carolina to the waters of Catalina Island. I love the water. Ocean, lake, or knee-deep stagnant swamps. Come visit for a week and I'll teach you how to swim. Swamp wading is a two-week course.

Welp, got a bit more of a workout today than I hoped for. I meant to tramp over the field to get enough willow to see if weaving a nest box will work.

"Tramp wasn't the right word. I'm not sure what is the right work is sinking from knee to almost hip deep in the snow for most of the way across the end of a five acre field. At least it was down hill on the way back.

It wasn't worth it; I should have waited for more snow to melt.

And it was worth it because it feels good to be tired like this. And to feel like I'm making progress on a project.

And I saw a massive bird in flight that I'm pretty sure was a snowy owl. Sooooo beautiful!!!!!!

That right there brings back a lot of memories of me being a free country boy along with my brothers. Swamp wading was a delightful past time in the summer and early fall. That's probably one reason why we were all so healthy.

What to do??

Again I have to smile. Gator tail is a delicious dish. Snake is quite tasty. @troyer has it right. Try the exotic foods. You might like it.

So true, brother. This line has brought back so many great memories. Catching frogs and polliwogs was always worth the occasional leech.

Nope, but many do.
I'd try it, especially if it was properly deep fried.
