Anyone notice Eddie has not said anything in this thread?
We had a black snake climbing our brick at the house. Thankfully it was on the OUTSIDE of the house! I'm sure he was looking for a way into the house but he never found it....
As far as I know. There was one place he could have gotten behind the brick but he never got that far. That day. That I know of.
I have told this story before but its still funny/scary.
When where where looking for land there was a property that had a house that was about 100 years old. In pretty good shape. On a section of land next to the house was a power pole, well, and well house. Looks like they had a trailer there years ago. We where very serious about this place so on one of our visits I walked over to look at the old trailer site. The well house was just a box with metal roofing as the siding and roof. The box was something like 6'x3' by eye level high. The box had a lid that opened up.
So I opened it up. And as I did so, enough light spilled into the dark box for me to see the guick, slithering movement of something long and black. About six inches from my face!
I dropped the lid ASAP. I DID NOT shriek like a little girl. Or at least nobody heard me. I DID have to throw away the Fruit of the Looms. It took a few minutes for my heart to regain its place inside my chest.
I DID NOT open the box again. I left Pandora inside.
Later,
Dan
