    This is a water snake.  It screams watersnake.  The band behind the eyes aligns with all the pics of watersnake.  Compared to cottonmouth, the band is not as smooth, and has a bit of a downturn to it.  Compare it to the dark band behind the eye of a cottonmouth.

    Oh man.  This was one of the coolest stories.  I saw this about two years ago with my parents who are Chinese(from Vietnam refugees) and they kind of laughed.  They said look at you guys.  We came here in 1980.  We spoke Chinese Vietnamese, and all sorts of other dialects.  We even learned English and Spanish.  You kids grew up learning English and Chinese.  Now my grand kids sound like white kids.  It's only been 40 years.  Look at how we eat.  We made brisket fried rice yesterday.  We have Cha siu ravioli because someone thought it might work.

    Started the day taking my daughters to the Houston Zoo.  Of course the reptile list is a priority for every visit.  But trying to wrangle my kids and take pictures, I forgot to get the names of the species.  Pretty obvious which is a rattler though.  All iphone photos and obviously through glass.

    The arboreal pit vipers are some of my favorite snakes.

  4. Essentially you're about to become an expert in kids like your son.  The education starts now.  Lots of books, podcasts, youtube, seminars, meetings with children's health professionals, support groups, etc.  I wouldn't trust anyone but you and your wife's instinct and knowledge.  I would try to get some good books recommended to begin to build your foundation of knowledge.  Parenting techniques, diagnosis of all kinds, Lots of personal success stories and failures, new styles of teaching and parenting, old styles of teaching and parenting, etc.

    Are you good at becoming an expert at something?  Looking for answers on the outside can be a very empty pursuit.  It's all about you and your wife.  What are you willing to teach yourselves, and can/will you begin to implement changes to your household.  Remember one thing almost everyone agrees on.  It's nature and nurture.  Don't be overwhelmed by guilt but also remember that you two are the most important pieces for his getting prepared to live his life.  You might not be able to pass this off onto school employees. 

     

    It's like undergrad now to build your foundation of knowledge and then as you begin to learn about his specific needs, go to "grad school" so you can specialize your knowledge based on your kid and how you want this journey to unfold.

  5. Well for starters the Maldives have no elevation.  None.  The scenery will be other bungalows, water, and the brief treeline from whatever island you're attached too.  Just a little tuft of green and tan from a hundred yards away.  One perk is isolation.  If you look, you can find a resort that's miles away from any other island.  Or you can look for places with built in scenery.

  6. You don't need to go that far for an over water bungalow.  If it's specifically the Maldives you seek, then go.  But if generic bungalow over generic water is you're destination, there are closer and maybe better options.

    All time for me is probably Little Big Man, watching his family murdered from across the river.  Opening to UP is close. 

    Most recently, C.O.D.A. Really, a pretty upbeat and funny movie, but some scenes got me.  

     

     

    The UP opening is all about the music.  Watch it muted.  Or, play that music to some of the scenes on this thread.
