What Things Would You Like To See Make A Comeback?

Watermelons with seeds, they are hard to find these days. Much more flavor than seedless.

Fruit stands and selling produce out of the back of trucks…watermelons, cantaloupe, sweet corn and other such produce.

Large fabric stores with a large variety of reasonably priced fabrics.

Small food stands own by locals who sell a few popular items done right. Fried chicken, burgers, snow cones etc. I think the cities have made it near impossible to operate these now.

Hunter gatherers. Sticks and stones. 😅It may be closer than we think. 😳

@maskedbandit I miss the days of foraging for wild fruits and pecans. It’s a miracle though that I didn’t get snake bit picking wild dewberries. Way long after I picked a 5-gallon bucket the new owners of the home said they’d see copperhead snakes under the brambles.

@cherokeepatti Oh my! I've been bit twice. Cotton Mouth both times. I used to hunt and fish a lot and pick berries so grandmother could bake us blue and black berry pies. That just what we use to do.

@maskedbandit When we lived on the farm we’d play in the creek a few yards from a large nest of water moccasins. They’d hang out in the shallow part of the creek near where the tractor crossed over to the other field. My aunt taught us from the time we were toddlers to watch them as we walked down the road to the creek. They’d all open their mouths at the same time to warn us to stay back.

@cherokeepatti In my younger days we used to play in the gullies around my home and it was full of moccasins, but it's the two I didn't see fishing the bank of ponds that got me. LOL

@maskedbandit We have to watch out for those and Pygmy rattlesnakes down by the edge of the water here. They camouflage in with the leaves etc and are waiting to catch any frogs they see.

@cherokeepatti Is that the same as ground rattlers?

cherokeepatti · 61-69, F

@maskedbandit these are small ones, but still venomous.

maskedbandit · 61-69, M

@cherokeepatti Kind of a dark brown color? I think they're the same snake and yes, they can make you very sick and they are hard to see.

@cherokeepatti No, they're different. What I was talking about is a solid color about 6 to 8 inches long.

cherokeepatti · 61-69, F

@maskedbandit Typically 15-20 inches but can grow larger. The only snake that I know around here that is 6-8 inches long are worm snakes. I stepped on one once. It didn’t even try to get me back. I looked it up on an oklahoma snake website to identify it and it said they are not aggressive.

@cherokeepatti Not unless you try and use them as bait. 😅

@maskedbandit I teased a stripy little grass snake that was sunning itself on the sidewalk early spring once. Got a little stick and poked it to see if it would move. It reared up like it wanted to bite me so I moseyed down the sidewalk and minded my own business once again. Wouldn’t recommend teasing a snake in warm weather when they are apt to move quicker.

@cherokeepatti I did that with a cotton mouth once, only one time though, thinking it was dead. 🤣

cherokeepatti · 61-69, F

@maskedbandit it was just chillin’.

maskedbandit · 61-69, M

@cherokeepatti And very mad when I bothered it. 😅
