Trumped!

Okay, finding a 3 1/2 foot long snake in my house is not as dramatic as finding an alligator in the kitchen. 

On the other hand, she loses points for knowing how the 'gator got in, because she can fix it. I've had to throw two big snakes out of the house and still have no idea how they're getting in.  So she's unlikely to repeat her experience, whereas for me it's just a matter of time.

Were you able to pick it up and put it outside, Jeff? Or did you have to open the door and go "Shoo, snake....Shoo!"

I picked it up (with heavy leather fireplace gloves on) and hurled it through an open door. Fortunately snakes land okay, so it wasn't hurt. I do like 'em--just not in the house.
