Wednesday Snake Report:

Neighbor #1 discovered medium-size black snake in middle of kitchen floor. Hastily recruited my father to kill snake and flush down toilet.

Hawks go hungry. ;)

DID I MISS A HOMECOMING PARTY?

Happy Wednesday FRiend!

[EsmeraldaA]

WELL? I am here, and already very hungry.

I must admit... he did manage to sell me a tye-dye one. They're actually quite attractive, if you're drunk.
