    1. [ARDREW-L] old wives' tale?
    2. Melissa Jones
    3. Hi, everyone, One of my distant cousins sent a nostalgic e-mail to another list we're both on. She was reminiscing about "old times". This particular sentence caught my eye: >If you killed a rattler, you didn't bring >him home 'til the next day to show him off >...snakes don't die 'til sundown. Has anyone else ever heard this? Early this summer, Dad and I sat around with cousin Jeff Loveless and his dad Eugene and they told us some of their rattler stories, but I don't remember hearing this about the snakes. Anyway, old superstitions like this are fun to explore...so, anyone know about snakes not dying 'til sundown? --Melissa
