Breakfast, sounds like a good plan, eggs, potatoes, and bacon for everyone. Hell I'll cook (its what I do).

Yummy! Celebrating the removal of a 6-1/2 foot long snake from my little backyard chicken coop - friend of ours, a local high school natural sciences teacher came and captured the reptile (that's been dining on the eggs for a week or more) - he was delighted as he'd never seen that size of this particular type of snake - and I was over the damn moon that the sucker was evicted - not a pleasant thing to find curled up in a nest box!

According to the professor - a 'chicken snake' - dines on eggs (and rodents, but this sucker was growing fat and sassy on my little hens' daily production!) Big gray, black and white thing. Glad it's gone.

Wow! I am so jealose! We don't get snakes that big in the UK (we don't get many at all in fact which is a pity as I adore them!)

There are many snakes that are called 'Chicken snakes'. Did it look like this?

That's the biggest common snake in the US and is called a Grey Rat Snake or Elaphe obsoleta spiloides

You were privaleged to see something of such great beauty! I'd be happy to pay it a tribute of eggs in return for the honour of a visit!

Heh, Emma - yes that's EXACTLY how it looked - and despite the fact I was not amused by it's theft of the eggs - had it just stuck with partaking of the rodents, it could have had a permanent home here! Our professor friend was absolutely thrilled with it and having spent his entire life here in Tennessee - he said it was the largest example he had ever seen; so we did pause a moment and appreciate it's long life and superior growth (AND healthy diet!). This particular friend of ours is enamored of all living things and you can be assured that he will give it great care before finding a safe (and rodent-rich) environment to release it.
The professor said he would take it to several of his classes so that his students could appreciate it as well (despite the fact the reptile DID bite him during the capture). I have grown much more accepting of snakes but I just don't like them in my hen house!

Surprisingly no matter how often you explain to snakes that they can have all the rats they want if they leave the eggs alone, they never listen... eggs are like ice cream to them..

oooh pretty snake though

It was a long weekend. Not bad, just looooong.

I think we're gonna need a back-up for the back-up, considering it was down again last night. *Facepalm*

Chicken snake is just a nickname. I don't think it's supposed to reflect on its courage! After all, lots of different snakes are known as Chicken Snakes, including pine snakes, corn snakes and rat snakes. I guess farmers only care about how the snakes affect them rather than naming them after their natural habitat or prey items!

Sorry, lecture mode disengaged.

How is everyone this morning (/evening for some!)

GEE

Did my research to find the same thing on the snake species as you just said Ems, does that make me a huge geek?

how's everyone? I seem to be rediculously busy, not to mention struggling with drugs, getting messed about by hospitals but can't complain too much, been to the cinema lots recently, finally got my garage cleaned out (feel massively guilty as I stood on the sidelines cheers on as was feeling very poorly) and went and saw open air Shakespeare last night.

If I could just get my body into some kind of working order then life would be a lot easier

Oooh, what did you see? Was it any good? I'm so very excited by the David Tennant/ Patrick Stewart Hamlet tickets I have for September!!

Sorry you're at a low ebb, health wise.

By the way, not geeky at all to be interested in snakes, just shows you have good taste!

Huh. Seems there is a fairly strong contingent of Iowans here on the board.

I REALLLLLLY want a Mojito this evening. Maybe several.

Mojito recipe
Scale ingredients to servings
3 fresh mint sprigs
2 tsp sugar
3 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 1/2 oz light rum
club soda (I like lemon lime soda)
Sonic crushed ice (if you can get it)

In a tall thin glass, crush part of the mint with a fork to coat the inside. Add the sugar and lime juice and stir thoroughly. Top with ice. Add rum and mix. Top off with *chilled* club soda (or seltzer). Add a lime slice and the remaining mint, and serve.

Take heart, the day will indeed end, just as soon as the clock hits 12:00 Am.

Thanks for the luck, and mojitos sound so very good right about now.

Iowa is really nice, I'm from Chicago originally and there is a different pace here among the corn and soy beans, lol.
