Yesterday morning I was walking to work while doing a sudoku. Hilary is always worried that I am going to get run over while I do this (she always quotes some statistic about how PhDs are more likely to get run over.)
Anyway, I was walking in the gutter and stepped next to this:
At the last second, I saw what I almost stepped on and quickly jumped into traffic. (Good thing there was no traffic.) Plus, it was a good thing it was already dead. Nothing like a copperhead to get your heart racing.
Right now, I am considering giving up the morning sudoku.

PS. Snake notes: This snake was over 2 feet long. It looked like it had just been killed. This morning when I went to see if it was still in the gutter, the only thing there was a pile of raccoon poop.
This was the 5th different type of snake I have seen this summer.
This summer, I have been averaging seeing at least one (live) snake every two weeks.
