the reason

why I do not live in Queensland or Australia for that matter.....
Yup I don't like wooden fences....




My sister Pippapotomus lives in central Brisbane city with snakes.
Not actually by choice, they were there first and are part and parcel of the Aussie experience (I like my snakes in a zoo, behind glass, locked up or dead). Keep in mind there are also random bush turkeys running around and untold other monsters like stinging, biting ants.
The other night she and I were having a chat when she told me of finding a snake in her letterbox and freaking out just a little, as you do.
What the? to quote another Aussie pest.
The snake was poking it's head out of the letterbox slot, which sounded a little, tiny bit cute but it's a freaken snake - all cuteness instantly removed!

Love you sister dear, but Mags is kinda right in that I'm probably not going to visit you anytime soon. Love and miss you though.

  1. hell yeah and in reality there is no reason for them to. When I lived in California I decided to get over my ikky-ness about snakes so I visited with a pet snake, slowly touching it and it was fine until it moved.
