[SEL] snake OT

[Bruce Younger]

Blacksnakes are harmless.  We had numerous around our old home in Kansas.  Some would show up in the spring, identifiable by marks, coloration, or wounds.  The biggest we would pick up and handle for a short while, and he/she would relax while being stroked.  We would measure the critter by laying it out on the one foot tiles on the kitchen floor.  He would gain nearly a foot a year.  They were always welcome because they kept down the rodents, and we lived next to a large wooded area that supplied plenty!

armed men long enough and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter."
