Snakes don't know it's Sunday
I left for work a couple of weeks ago, and I noticed a squiggly line out of the corner of my eye. The landscaping is fairly pitiful right now, and the "grass" is only a clump here and a clump there. What I noticed was a decent-sized black snake. Nothing to scare me or anything ('cause I'm tough, you know)- but it was just odd seeing a snake out in the wide open.
The next day, snake again- and the next day again. I got used to seeing a snake every morning- sometimes 2 of them. Like clockwork, the slithery fellas would be there. I joked one day that I wondered if they took weekends off- then reminded my crazy self that snakes don't know it's Sunday!
Today rolled around, and a different kind of snake reared his ugly head as yet another strange turn of events in our area's Casey Anthony circus. 42-year-old Melbourne resident Robert Hakimoglu is accused of punching a woman in the face during an argument over the verdict in the Casey Anthony case.
Sick...very sick. Violence in any regard isn't called for- but violence against women is abhorrent and violence against children is always disgusting.
Every now and then, I'll get this crazy thought in my head that the news will be nothing but good and happy- but it wasn't the case today.
....because snakes don't know it's Sunday.
