After a full day of busyness at home, {cleaning, exercising, gardening, laundry, organizing, bill paying, future planning} Lolo and I settled in to watch the most recent episode of Game Of Thrones.
{You know my day isn’t complete without beheadings, pillaging or a massacre or two}
Around 10:15 we were both heading to bed when I noticed the three cats finally playing together on the lanai….then I remembered: our cats DON’T PLAY TOGETHER because they are CAT HATERS.
Which is ironic.
Upon closer inspection, they were torturing a poor {juvenile sized}innocent snake; similar to the Game Of Thrones episode I’ve just watched.
Lolo and I spent a good 10 minutes saving this poor snake from the felines.
All the while saying: Is it a corn snake? Is it a coral snake?
Then we were going over that silly saying: black touches yellow, kill a fellow, red touches yellow kill a fellow….black touches yellow and then I was thinking of that crazy rap song black and yellow-black and yellow…when a better old rap song intruded….I said a hip hop, hippie to the hippie. The hip, hop a hop, and you don’t stop, a rock to the bang bang boogie, say up jump the boogie….to the rhythm of the boogie…the beat.
See, I’m easily distracted. And I love the classic music.
Most moments usually end up with me singing an old song and looking like an a-hole.
An a-hole with rhythm.

| Picture borrowed from the internet-our snake was much smaller, but just as colorful. |
Finally Lolo determined it was a milk snake.
So, THIS is there where milk comes from?
Well, someone has some ‘splainin to do. I couldn’t even see any udders!
Anyhoo. We saved a snake. Again.
But if you ask the snake, he probably would have rather endured ‘death by cats’ than to hear me rapping.

My wife and I found a milk snake recently in our woods. ( had to look it up on line, I know nothing of snakes) but that looks bigger than ours. Reading your pos again brought a smile to my face and had me thinking, have you ever considered decaf? LOL. Have a great day.

I am laughing just thinking about you trying to save a little snake from (mostly) feral cats. We always used, \”Red on yellow will kill a fellow. Red on black is a friend of Jack.\”

I still like to rap RUN DMC, era 1986 or so, whenever I want to really annoy my children: The other day when I was chillin' in Kentucky Fried Chicken, this dude walks in lookin' strange and kinda funny; went up to the counter, a menu and his money. He didn't walk straight – kinda side-to-side – he asked the old lady, \”Hey, is this Kentucky Fried?\” The lady said yes, smiled, and he smiled back. He gave a quarter and his order: small fries, Big Mac! 'Cause he be illin'.As an aside: the snake also be illin'. GAH!!!!!!!!!Something tells me we'd get along splendidly.

I always know when we have a snake on the patio because the cats are all lined up looking at it like, \”you get it!\” \”no, YOU get it!\” \”Someone go get Mom, SHE can get it!\” I swear they would point if they could. We have mostly black snakes. Quickest way to get over a fear of creepy things is to move to Florida.
