Mr. Patrick Sheedy has a close encounter of the Rattle Snake kind!


Adapted from this original source, a front page photo caption in The Brackett News. Thursday, June 4, 2009.


Note:

The photo shows Mr. Sheedy holding up a pretty healthy - looking rattlesnake, we'd guess maybe between 5 and 6 feet long.

"City of Brackettville Water and Gas Maintenance Employee Patrick Sheedy started his day with a visit from a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake.

"The encounter took place at the city's odor station southwest of town."
