Snakes In A Plane!!!!

After driving past this 14 times today I keep saying the phrase "Snakes In A Plane". I don't know why I keep saying it, I just do. That's right, he was right out the front gate of our neighborhood. Thankfully he did not know the code to get in! In an effort to keep the members of the Veranda community safe, I ran over him this morning. Then I backed up and ran over him again. Okay, so he was probably dead when I first encountered him, but you can never be too sure about these things.
We have had several snake sightings this summer in our neighborhood. When it is HOT the snakes come out! Did you know there is a rattlesnake bite season at my hospital? Good Sam has the antidote to rattlesnake bites. Crofab! As Dr. Jackson has told me, Crofab anti-venom costs about as much as a new Saturn. I rather have a new Saturn! Then I can run over more snakes and keep the world a safer place!

due to damaged caused by massive tires of an oversized gas guzzler I am unable to identify the type of snake. Was it a rattler? Please but up some cones around it protecting the rest of its scantly carcas so I may come over and have one of those "oh sick but I cant stop looking" moments!!

How the hech is it so expensive, and does insurance pay for it? But more importantly I just read your post that you are coming on Friday! I am so excited, we are going to have so much fun!!! I am flying out to Maryland EARLY the next morning with the two kids by myself and I will get no sleep, but it is worth it!

You can ad me to your list! I read the post about the snake. What kind of snake is it? It looks like a rattle snake. That is one big snake. Brant.

Thank you for protecting the In-laws Denise...I owe ya! :-)
On base last year, we had gopher snakes that would torment us. I was terrified to find one in my bushes. Harmless or not, they look just like a rattler and are scary.
