[AT] I hear only crickets...

[David Bruce]

That snake in the house thing reminds me of a situation here right after 
we moved in. We had a lot of remodeling done so most days during the 
week the house was wide open. One Saturday I woke up and heard a door 
creaking. At first in my sleepiness I was thinking that door was being 
moved by the breeze but then I woke up enough to know the windows were 
closed and there was no breeze. It was a black snake trapped under that 
door and trying to get free. That snake went to snake heaven. Hated to 
do that but I could find no way to get the snake free from the door 
without such action.

Mom has some serious medical issues which prevent her from living at 
home these days. Luckily we found a good place for where she is cared 
for well and close enough I can visit most every day (that in part may 
be why her care has been so good).
