Please make this stop now. Can I open my eyes yet? There's new video showing a bark scorpion hanging out with a couple of snakes in the Missouri Glades and I have all the nightmare fuel I need for the next few years.
One of the benefits of living in Missouri is the ability to not have to walk far before you see trees. Sometimes you'll see cryptic markings on the trunk of a tree that means something. If you happen upon a tree that has black paint, that's a sure sign that someone's in trouble.
