THE GREAT WHITE HUNTER

My nephew has become a neighborhood hero, a super hero even. You gotta love the only grandson my dad and mom were blessed with 16 years ago.

RJ and his buddy were walking down the sidewalk when suddenly they hear what appears to be the sound of a faucet that was inadvertently left running. They glance towards the neighbors front sidewalk and see an enormous rattle snake shaking that insipid tail. RJ runs for his house to grab his .22 while his friend keeps an eye on the serpent.

RJ returns and pops the thing with three big bullets and saves many from certain danger and a possible serious encounter from that slithering creature.

Not long after this perilous incident, RJ spies a flock of magpies tormenting a tiny squirrel. Once again, certain death for the rodent is approaching and RJ flees for his trusted weapon. This time he takes out 3 birds mid-flight. Neighbors cheer because everyone knows that magpies are the most annoying, noisy birds God created.

I know I will sleep easier knowing that my nephew is always there to save the day. And he is not even a real Roderick.
