Many of us in the radio business remember WKRP fondly because we have 
all encountered characters like those in the show. The turkey drop 
incident ("Turkeys Away") was modeled on one that really happened, 
albeit not in Cincinnati.

Oddly, there is actually a WKRQ in Cincinnati, just one letter of the 
alphabet removed from WKRP. There is also a WKRC. Neither has anything 
to do with the show.

Hmm, I wonder what species that is. What is called a "brown snake" here 
in the east is Storeria dekayi, a little snake not more than ten or 
fifteen inches long. I don't think I've ever encountered one, although I 
have seen its relative, S. occipitomaculata, the red bellied snake.

The only rattlesnake here is the timber rattler, Crotalus horridus. It's 
endangered in Massachusetts and is only found in a couple of places; 
oddly, one of them is the Blue Hills Reservation, just outside Boston. 
There are also copperheads in the reservation; occasionally one finds 
its way into the neighboring Granite Links golf course. They too are 
classified as endangered in MA.

Howie Carr, a local right-wing talk show host, ranted on the radio a few 
years ago against a proposal to preserve an island in the Quabban 
Reservoir in central Massachusetts as a rattlesnake habitat. He want on 
and on about endangering neighborhood children and the like, clearly 
unaware that there were rattlesnakes living much closer to civilization 
and no one had ever had a problem with them.

The Quabban is greater Boston's principal water supply. When it was 
created in the 1930s, four towns were deliberately flooded. They were 
Enfield, Prescott, Dana, and Greenwich ("green-witch"). The towns were 
formally dissolved and their residents moved elsewhere.

I have long been fascinated by snakes. How a limbless terrestrial 
predator could ever evolve, let alone flourish, boggles the mind. The 
Boidae -- boas and pythons -- have remnants of a pelvis and little spurs 
that are vestiges of hind legs.
