So yesterday, I opened up the garbage can and saw a snake swirling around the bottom. I grabbed a scuffle hoe and immediately sliced made sure the snake's head parted ways with its body. I showed the decapitated snake to a friend who knows more about these things than I do, and he said it's a pygmy rattle snake. These little dudes are the bad asses of rattle snakes. Their venom could kill you like that (snap).
Today I was crossing the yard and noticed one of my many adorable cats sniffing around at something on the ground. Upon closer inspection, I discovered that it was the same snake from yesterday, and upon even closer inspection, I discovered this snake at head.
WTF! A head, hadn't I just yesterday sliced it off with a blunt disc. Then I realized that this was a different snake and cut the fucker's head off just to make sure it was really and truly dead. Go me! Snakes beware my wrath!
Spent the rest of the day working on the zombie script. Oh the day when I get paid to write.
Then cleaned up the yard for awhile on in order to destroy all hiding places these snakes might have. And it needed it too. Starting to look like a jungle out there.
Later,
