  hahaha!  since i remember that show (and had such a crush
on Bailey) i can see it all.  :)  that must have been a sight
to see.  :)

  we have a rather fiesty brown snake that is harmless but
can startle you if you don't notice it in time.  we do have
the poisonous swamp rattler snakes here but they are usually
around the wetlands and we are not too close to those so it
takes some travel for them to get here.  i think i've seen
one in all the years i've been here.

  i like snakes.  i don't have any or keep them as pets, but
i do like them.  with all the rock piles around there is 
plenty of habitat for them.

  yes, i've had to trap hundreds of mice out of the walls here
over the years.  it wasn't until just a few years ago that i
finally got this place properly sealed up, but i do have to keep
an eye out for any new attempts to get back in.  once the snow
flies at least i can see the mouse tracks in the snow to find
out if anyone is trying to nest in places they shouldn't be.
one nest we had to remove from the AC a few summer's ago after
they'd finally destroyed some wiring and the capacitor that was
used in that part of the control box.  luckily it did not cause
a fire or harm the motor of the AC unit.
