Reader of many things, writer of 1920s romance.
Google Maps confirms the existence of several places in Circleville bearing the name ’Hitler’ so I’m guessing it’s true.

I think she and the rest of the world may differ somewhat in what they consider “superimportant.”

She says it’s a song about walking your dog in the rain (it’s not, it’s a random song).

So, around snakes, it’s good practice to avoid film crews.

Rattlesnake bites =/= certain death. For the western diamondback for example, the mortality rate of untreated bites is between 10 and 20%. And when death occurs it’s usually 6-48 hours after the bite. But if there’s a film camera near, it’s apparently instant death every time.

Speaking of which: the biggest myth in Westerns is that rattlesnakes are super-venomous and mean instant death. Not true.

I am not saying my Swedish ancestors who emigrated did not flail around like idiots, but they generally survived and did pretty well for themselves, even the ones who went West.

Hint: there were poisonous snakes, dirty water and horses here too.

Shocking, I know.

Like I’m betting you dollars to dog biscuits that my Sami ancestors could have survival-skilled the pants off anyone. Even if one of them did get eaten by a bear (accidents happen in reindeer herding).
