25/April/2017 - An Unwelcome Guest!

After another icky day at work, Old Grump was treated to quite a shock when he came back to Venerable Watson's apartment.  We had an uninvited guest waiting just outside the front door!

Our Uninvited Guest

That's right ..... there was a snake, right outside the doorway!  That's our "welcome mat" to the left of the coiling little nasty critter.

Go Away, Snake!

Grump was able to push the snake away with an umbrella kept just inside the front door, (the snake bit the umbrella several times in the process), but it was still an unpleasant experience.  Nobody wants to find a snake waiting for them when they get home.

After the snake was gone Grump changed into his hiking shorts, and went for a walk on the trail near Flat Rock park.

Once he got on the main paved trail, the scenery basically looked like this:

Probably the most interesting part of this trail was where it went under a very busy road.

Peace!
