Update on Mike Posner.
Great story here on twitter...
Thanks for the link. This caused me to look him and I discovered Posner summitted Mount Everest last year?!? What?! And I didn't realize his rattlesnake bite was during his 3,000 mile walk across America. I guess he's in decent shape.
I used to do a lot of running through there. The signs don't lie. Ditto for Mission Trails Park.
A lot around here where I live, too. It's worth paying attention.
Still, better than around Alice Springs which is where I did a lot of my growing up. No rattlers there but everything else wants to kill you.
When I read that Michael Posner got bitten, I had 2 immediate thoughts. He went to Duke? And, sheesh, he's not a young man, this could be serious.
Fortunately, I was thinking of the eminent 85 yr old psychologist rather than the 34 yr old musician.

This is the only rattlesnake I knowingly get near!
That was electric.
Whoops…I meant “no one is cooler than him”. I am getting old.

But this does make me see him in a different light. My opinion had been colored by this song, which was written about a classmate of his, so seemed mean-spirited.
