THE SNAKE











I was taking a small bag of trash out to the hopper, just b/f Frank got home from work.




I saw what appeared to be a loop of rope hanging down from the garage


door track and I wondered what a loop of rope had to do w/the garage door working. I bit closer look made me quickly realize that it was NOT a rope... but that same snake (or one that looks just like him) that had peered under the fence a couple of weeks ago. The lawn guy had told me that they are territorial...and that if we saw him once, that likely we would see him again.


The snake lived through the process of getting him out of the garage track... (under my protest). There were 6 of us... ok, Derek did the work and the rest of us offered pretty worthless suggestions! He was coiled up under the trash bin last night...i'm not looking this morning.


Oh ya, he was just about 5' long...

  1. That takes of if I had even thought of visiting, I just changed my mind. Why on earth didn't you kill it, if he says it will be back, you know he'll come. I don't think I'd hang out any more clothes

  2. My vote was to kill it, even if that was just letting him stuck there until he starved!
    Why set the bugger loose when he's just going to come back? DUH!

  3. OH HELL NO! I'd have MADE them kill it.

  4. The one night when we first came down here, there was a (stick) on the front patio, I thought I don't remember a stick there, then the "stick" slithered away. not large and doubt it was poisonous but still glad it left and did not come back.

  6. Ya, a gun seemed very logical to me.
    Sadly, I don't have one here.
    Even a hockey stick would have been better than the broom handle and kitchen utensils!!!
