Flashback

Taking off my shoes, rolling up my pants, and wading into the irrigation so I could shovel a trench to get water to a tree.

I recalled irrigating a cotton farm in the middle of the night - there were many noises in the ditch grass - and meeting a very large gopher snake. The snake went about his business while I waited for my breathing to resume.

No gopher snakes today.
