And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

We have plenty here in Tennessee. I welcome them, they keep the rodentia population down. They extract an egg tariff occasionally, but once that starts happening ( every 3-5 days) I start checking the coup, multiple times a day. When I catch it, it's always at LEAST 4+ feet long. Longest so far, near 6 ft. Then it's a trip to the train sta...wait, that's not for sneks, they get a 2 mile trip to the OTHER side of the bridge, away from people and traffic, down by the river.
Love the wide porches.

ReplyDeletewe had blacksnakes in our porch columns this year, regular nests of them.
