Lunch

That's cool.

I decided several years ago that I like snakes. They are, after all, one of God's creatures.

Snakes eat mice. Mice eat Corvette wiring. Corvette wiring costs thousands to replace. Every year I find a snake in my basement and carry it outside, where there is food. (Sure ain't no food in my basement!)

One Winter I found one on the floor of my basement shop. It was 15º F outside.

I felt bad, but setting him loose in my tool shed, where there is always piles of leaves, was better than starving in my basement. I like to think he had sense enough to find a nesting-place to hibernate, and that he survived to eat mosquitoes and mice again some day.
