I was busy reading RPCA when there appeared to be a flurry of activity to my
left in the walkway that divides the house.  The was Victor who had just
dropped a black two foot long snake under the desk against the opposite
wall.  He picked it up again and backed out from under the kneehole desk
when I yelled at him to drop it.  He did and she slithered away prehaps
thinking that the black electric cord was kin.  At any rate she burrowed
under the rug.

My eyes were drawn to  a very, very thin, round, like a child's braclet, but
not closed, black on one side, yellow on the other, flopping from one side
to the other thing.  It took me a moment to realize it was a baby snake.  In
less than a flash, Victor Velcro put his black nose to it, munch, munch,
yum, yum.  I don't care for snakes but that little one didn't even have a
chance of any kind.

Later our roommate came home and we unburied mama.  She seem to be well even
though Victor had done some damage to her back end.  That must have been how
the little one got out.  Larry took her out to our "woods" as he said to
recycle her.

Much later Victor Velcro jumped up on the bed when I was reading, as he does
every night.  I looked him sternly in the eye and said:  Don't you dare barf
on me tonight!!!

He made my head hurt again,
