The Post For Stuff You Wanna Tell People

There's one more reason not to move to Maryland!

Overwhelming numbers of snakes in Maryland homes are not unheard of. One Annapolis couple sued after finding numerous snakes, including one that was 7 feet long, in their new home, News4 reported.

The irony here will no doubt create a good deal of amusement in some quarters, but people lost their home here.  Glad no people were hurt.

Didn't know that Maryland was notorious for snakes.  They were awfully common where I grew up.  One evening about five or six feet worth of snake got into the kitchen of my parents' house.  Dad grabbed it behind the head and somewhere back toward the tail, ran outside and down the driveway with it, and hurled it as hard as he could across the road into the woods beyond.  He said it was one of the hardest things he ever made himself do.  The snake was evidently scared too, since it wet all over Dad.

Because house prices are made public and snakes affect all houses in a certain area, the snake pest is in the price of the house. The inhabitants have nothing to complain about.

Remember, if the knowledge is public, it's all in the price! :-)

Interesting! I am curious.  "Our Space" reminds me a bit too much of "Myspace", though. ;-)

Hmmm, maybe Einstein was wrong about God playing dice with the universe...

Leave me the f*ck alone so that I can finish compiling grades. We just finished the damn exam. It takes me TIME to grade things.

We don't finish for 10 more days.

I only surpassed Poly after she stopped posting, though....

We're becoming a nation of e-jabberwocks...!

We'll be closed for a 3 day Christmas weekend so I'm looking forward to it too.  Got myself a bottle of rose.

A) Those silly little games in the J. Lawson Advent calendar will steal your brain cells away and leave you mush in return.

Must stop now.

Will stop now.

B) Saturday is going to be as much Zoom-work as a usual teaching day (again). However, in this case, a couple of those participating really do need the connectivity (a recent death in one family, some returning prodigals in another, possibly) so I'm not minding as much as I have sometimes.

However, it will be nice to have only one online thing to do on Sunday, and it will be something I don't have to prep or organize...grace a Dieu. (literally).

Merry Xmas and Happy Holidays to you all. SO and I will be hibernating for a bit so we can recharge our emotional batteries. :)
