I sincerely doubt that any dog walkers from Shell Ridge, Walnut Creek, are going to see this. Dog walkers who don't pick up after their dogs are infuriating, but I also don't get those who let their dogs run around off-leash. This #Rattlesnake was about 4 inches off the trail.

If you're going to call your Representative, if you're going to ask anyone else in your network to call their Representative, you have to do it now. We expect a floor vote relatively soon — we're down to the final few hours.
