It would seem that we are simply not satisfied with the deadly and venomous that we have here in Australia, we need go searching for more. Some recent research discovered that, against traditional wisdom, lizards do actually have venom. It appears that even the little bearded dragon lizards we have in most suburban back yards carry a version of the classic rattlesnake venom.
Holy shit, I used to catch those things as a kid.
Its amazing the things that we discover, unexpectedly and in places we thought we had looked so thoroughly. Every time I turn around, I am discovering new things about myself. New details that some how fit into the blurry, crowded seemly shifting jigsaw that is my self image.
Some years, it has all been so clear and so certain while others, like 2005,it has not been. This year, this dreadful 2005, I have felt lost and adrift. Unable to even see a sign to tell me what street or avenue I am on, or which way I should go.
But somehow luck keeps on finding me and delivering chances to my door. Not always the things I wish for,but apparently that’s not the name of the game. One thing that has been delivered this year, is the friendship of some very special people and through them I have made an amazing discovery.
Against the conventional wisdom, and my own fears, it appears that I am NOT actually venomous. And that’s a nice thing to know.
