You can still make good use out of the dead, lifeless body of the snake -- dinner, a headband, decorative objects. <br /><br />I know you're not going to take my kind advice. Just remember, when you're picking yourself up off the ground when the snake trips you that you were warned.<br /><br />Whatever you do, do not return him to the lagoon. You will not be doing him a favor.jennifer rosehttp://www.staringatstrangers.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-76194670554334445872009-07-15T22:20:23.161-05:002009-07-15T22:20:23.161-05:00Constantino -- Very clever.

I missed the obvious spin: St. Patrick in San Patricio.<br /><br />1st Mate -- I just hope he survives to be a bit riper in age.<br /><br />Chrissy -- I was simply going to use a fork stick if possible. He does not have a viper head, so there is not much to capture. I really need a tow sack. I do have a gym bag that might work.<br /><br />Gloria -- I know that some people have a fear of snakes. I don't get it. But, then, I am the one having the fun.<br /><br />Islandgringo -- I doubt I could ever turn you on this issue. When we were kids, we would touch tongues with the garter snakes -- until one bit me on the tip. They are simply fascinating creatures. Along this part of the Mexican coast, we have sea snakes that wash up now and then on the shore. They are best given a wide berth.<br /><br />Leslie -- I have had the same reaction from other people in town. Why didn't you kill it? they ask. For the same reason we do not kill people who we irrationally fear. Oh. I guess we do that, too.Steve Cottonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00468378507171761868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-60009978720340202542009-07-15T22:15:23.820-05:002009-07-15T22:15:23.820-05:00A good day in Mexico.

But as you said, some humans have no regard. Not long ago, my hubby went on a early morning bike ride and saw a large snake on the side of the road, in the middle of nowhere. He stopped only to admire the creature and continued on his merry way. When my hubby told others of what he had seen, most of the people asked my hubby if he had killed it, to which he answered "NO". No one could understand why my hubby let the snake live!Leslie Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12084393882026836564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-72506642216476335632009-07-15T17:59:30.230-05:002009-07-15T17:59:30.230-05:00SNAKE!
