with a 260 cubic inch Ford V8.

Black wasps are not poisonous but can stun another insect.
They then dig a hole, put the host in the hole,
lay an egg on the host and carefully cover up the hole.
The resultant larvae eats the host
then emerges as a pupa to continue the life cycle ...

I reached down to pick up a T-post
and when I stood up I had dozens of burs
in my t-shirt, trousers and work gloves.

Evidently they are the aptly named Spanish Needles.
After you pull free the seed pod
some of the tiny burs on the end of the pod
do not come out but continue to burrow into your ...

Non poisonous snakes get a pass from me.
That looks like a big copperhead.
Personally, I will not give one a pass.
A couple of my dogs have really suffered from their bite.
I have no sympathy for copperheads.
Good picture, though.

I used a P38 in field exercises at Fort Knox
in the Armor Officer Basic Course in 1969.
Nothing like sitting in a 50-ton tank (an M60)
freezing in the snow eating cold C-rations.
But it could have been a lot worse.
I would go on to be stationed in Germany
instead of Vietnam.

A friend of mine who is in the Jaguar parts business
explained "gray market" parts to me.
For example, Jaguar orders 5,000 water pumps
from their Chinese manufacturer.

Once the order is filled,
the manufacturer continues making
another 5,000 water pumps
and sells them on the "gray market".

And you guys carry knives!
Which reminds me my son-in-law will not allow my grandson
to have a knife out of fear of his bursts of anger.

Other people eating makes my 13-year old grandson angry.
He has learned to tamp down the anger reaction
and retreats to a different room
if anyone looks like they might eat something.
At school, he does not go to the cafeteria
but plays Pokemon with some friends.
I'm 78 but never heard of this ...

Once deployed how do you steer them?
