Still pursuing frags (acquisitions and history) more than watches these days but the 3861 is always a solid choice any day.
Thinking of my dad today so I shot his favorite sauce as I was winding the Pro.

Sorry, I forgot to reply. That was the line of visitors waiting to get into Antoni Gaudi's Casa Mil脿, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casa_Mil脿
View from the rooftop, and one of the inner courtyards. Very interesting place!


Speaking of art, Seamaster 120 ST 166.073 with lugs that remind me of Renaissance paintings plump nudes' thighs! 馃槣 馃槣
So...when you were looking at all the Gaudi constructs you were also looking at a lesser known genius architect named Jos茅 Mar铆a Jujol
who worked extensively on his mentor's projects. If you have the time look at some of his solo work.

I tried to get my snake to eat salad but I just can鈥檛 get him to make the transition. (I鈥檓 a
biologist and yes I have a snake鈥hat said, the pic shall be replaced.)

What kind of snake do you have? We've touched on the biology topic a couple of times, I know I've mentioned I have some experience handling mid weight raptors, but also plenty with snakes- mostly Colubrids- but quite a bit of experience with Crotalids as well! I can't remember if this has come up on the forum or not but my right thumb is missing- I was bitten by an angry Western Diamondback some years ago (not an experience I recommend under any circumstances).

I kept all sorts of animals growing up but haven't had a snake for a number of years. the last one I had as a "pet" was a Desert Kingsnake that got into my house in Arizona.

Mexican black king snake. From Arizona and Mexico. He鈥檚 a beauty. Jet black with coal black eyes. He鈥檚 my office mate. Never utters a word 馃榾 Bonus that he was a rescue in need of a quality home.

Westerns are know for their delightful personality (sarcasm). Artrox is particularly nasty. Sorry about the thumb. Most unpleasant experience, I鈥檓 certain

Regarding your Mexican black- gorgeous creatures! Most of the L. getula subspecies are absolutely beautiful (I can't keep up with the cladistic reorganization that's going on, I just double-checked wikipedia and it now lists the desert king as a separate species and not a subspecies!).

Regarding C. atrox... yes, very friendly creatures indeed. adamantus is more deadly but less likely to encounter people (and not by much). Definitely not an experience I wish to repeat!

Enough thread drift...

I just looked at pictures of some Mexican black king snakes. What a beautiful snake!
