HOLY COW ITS HEAD WAS TWO INCHES FROM MY LEG

Okay, it was early... about 7:15, and I went around our big outside table, looking for lizards. What I got tells me why there are none. I heard a hiss and looked down. Whoooo--freeze. A slithering, dark-colored snake--the first thing I saw was a triangular head and a white mouth as it hissed at me, 2 inches from my bare leg. I got away from there, fast.
Well, fast forward a hurried telling of the situation and 13 bullets from my brother.
So it's dead. A cottonmouth, according to the internet.
But everything's okay now.
