Snake in the
road !
This could
also be called tales from Linda Lane. One
morning we were on the back side of the morning loop, on Linda Lane. With no warning, Jeff screamed like a little
girl. We noticed both his feet extended
straight out, like a kid riding through a mud puddle. He had ran over a snake. That is the one time I know of that Jeff let
his guard down and acted like the rest of us.
Once Jeff got safely past it, his coach voice returned, and he yelled, “Snake
in the road!”
Another interesting thing about Linda lane is, Chico the
donkey lives in the meadow on the corner. This is where Linda Lane and Davenport Road meet at the stop sign. We almost never saw Chico, but if you called out
to him by his name, or you made a loud heeee hawww sound, he would answer. At Six Fifteen in the morning, this is how we entertained ourselves. Brad was the best at this, and Jeff was always
amused when Chico answered Brad's call.
