"Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub."
"Oh, I understand," said the visitor. "A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup."
"No," said the Director. "A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?"
Sage Warning
Report of a death due to Rattle Snake bite and two others that did not die have been received recently from different locations. This is due to the climate. The snake population has risen in the north eastern states. Take great care in areas that contains moist rocky soil areas. Look over a downed tree before you step over it. Snakes will choose the shady side of a downed tree and under it if it is not firmly on the ground. Wear boots that cover your ankles, the higher the better. Never reach and hold tree branches as you descend or climb a steep forested hill. --Snakes do climb trees to attack birds nests--.Keep any children last in line. Or Better keep them out of deep forest areas till late fall.
Be alert! Snakes don't want to meet you any more than you want to meet them. Make a lot of noise as you venture in the forest and they will move to avoid you. Pick berries only from the very top of the bushes; avoid ground level berries at all times. Don't kill snakes they are the largest reason rats, mice, and other rodents stay under control and will not enter your home in winter months.
