Snake Man

As I was leaving work one day last week I came across The Snake Man.

The Snake Man was something / someone that I'd never encountered before. Let me set the stage...

It was a Friday afternoon. The weather was warm. Traffic was backed up. I was most likely catching up on tweeps while sitting in traffic.

When, to my horror, I see a man walking down the street with boa constrictors / pythons wrapped around both of his arms. All the way up his arms. This man appeared to be in his late 30s and had a long scraggly beard. He was scary.

Homeslice then proceeded to start slamming his snake covered arms into the windows of a car that was trying to pull out of a fast food joint. The thugs lovely looking gentlemen in the car looked terrified. (I probably would have peed in my pants).

As this lovely looking individual was headed towards my place of employment (large academic medical institution) - I called the cops.

I watched the news later, but didn't see him on there. I did hear sirens from my house (very near that area) a few minutes later. I should have stuck around and gotten a picture.

In other news... my Furminator came in yesterday. For those of you who aren't familiar with the wonder that is a Furminator - go here.

If you have a pet that sheds this will change your life. I'm not kidding. This is the hair that I brushed off of the puppy.



It was about 1/4 of a grocery bag full. She's not that large of a dog! Anyway, I'm hoping that the new toy will reduce the extraordinary amount of times a week that I vacuum / sweep. Blech!

Finally, I wore jingle shoes to work today. I knew they jingled. I tried to prevent them from jingling (superglue). It didn't work.

When I purchased the shoes I didn't realize how bad the jingling was. It's bad. So bad that a lady left the waiting room to come and look at me waiting for the elevator to see what on me was making the jingling sound.

I went home at lunch and changed shoes. I think I need some more flats. Without the jingle.



The culprits :(

And, I will leave you with yet another pic of the puppy. As she is cute.
