I Don't Like Snakes

Whew. Busy day at The Outpost. Lots of cleaning and lots of laundry. I may make my family live in the garage and wear disposable clothing. It's going to break my spirit to have to do this all over again in a couple of days.

All that said, my day was still much better than Steve's.

Or this snake's.

Yep. He's deceased. The Governor and I spotted him on one of our rambles. We stopped for a moment of silence, bowed our heads, and mentally gave thanks to the SUV that ran it over.

It was a good day.

I, Nana to the Gov., also spotted the deceased snake in the driveway. My reaction was a tad bit different. I was trying to build cardiovascular well being walking at a very brisk pace. Spotting Mr. (dead as a door nail) Snake a half step before squishing him for the second time, was startled. Now, I have no problems with snakes, salimanders, and the like. Actually, I think they are very interesting, but when they sneak up on me, I scream. The walk proved to be a very good cardiovascular work out. lc

The Cap will be really upset. He would have made that nice snake a home.

At least you don't have a cat that likes to bring them inside.

Just be careful when lifting the hood of your car to see why it won't start...
