my uncle and his wife are here at my gran's house. they were leaving the house to go look at modular houses (oh dear god no!) and so i walked out with them and gran is yelling cuz there is a snake and then lori is yelling cuz there is a snake but they're nowhere near each other. well it turns out there are 3 HUUUUUUGE gopher snakes and of course everyone is kooking (well, except my uncle of course, and myself). i'm trying to explain to them that gopher snakes are GOOD and they're not venomous, but they imitate rattlesnakes and they will strike if taunted. heh. so they all run for the cars and take off and then the damn snakes head straight for the open garage. wtf? there are one miiiiiiiiiiiiiillion gophers in the yard ever encroaching on my GARDEN!!! and those goddamn snakes head for the garage. so while i'm corraling and trying to catch one snake i'm not paying attention to the other two so i get the one out but he's crafty fellow and about 4 ft. long. well he's out but trying to head in and i put him farther away and i think well, i'll shut the garage because if these snakes get in gran will have a heart attack and just when i turn around there's another snake coming out from under a cabinet in the garage, right by my friggin' dog who is not the least bit bothered by this serpenty thing.

*sigh*

so then i thinkoh i'll get my camera cuz these are beautiful animals and when i get back out there...GONE! ALL GONE!! bastards! lol
