I won't die but I do swell up pretty gnarly. Last time I was stung, it was the center of my forehead and both my eyes swelled shut. Then I was stung in the same place 2 weeks later with even worse results. I had one fly up my sleeve on my motorcycle and I had a fat hand for about a week.

I then washed and soaked the hides in alum/salt brine to tan them. I will flesh them in...
We have Cobra and Shelby. They are sisters from a set of triplets. Their sisters name was Chevelle.
The story of their names comes from a 9 year old friend of mine. She had just come from a birthday party and the girls name was Shelby. So she named a kid Shelby. We had to have themes so...
