Move to the UK.

Is the UK serpent free? I thought that was only the Emerald Isle.

That would be perfect. Cloudy, rains a lot, usually not hot. They aren’t all emotional like the French.

Are we maligning the English or the French here? I can't tell.

I watched the first half of the 1979 version of Salem's Lot last night. In a desperate effort to hurry the end of summer along.

First watch.

My Stephen King viewing is limited. His themes are dark, which doesn't bother me, but he involves children, which does. This, being filmed back in the day (Yikes! 47 years ago!) is fairly mild, so I took a risk.

Dated, of course, but it's held up surprisingly well. The filming is great. Very atmospheric.

We have 3 snakes. Only one of which is venomous, and of that only about 12% of bites will require hospital. Non fatal.

There’s a non-native fourth species now. Aesculapian snakes from Europe.

But it sounds like the numbers on all of them are low.

Oof. Looks as though there are 250 species in the US. A hundred of which reside in Texas. Four of the hundred are venomous. Three, very.

We seem to be snake central.

Thus, the Cowboy boots, right?

Why not both?

Wow. Equal opportunity maligning.

The SO has a sports car that he works on from time to time.

Today I was on the receiving end of a conversation where the only words I understood were oil, aftermarket, bypass valve. Between that, and the technical nature of his work, I occasionally wonder how we manage to carry on conversation.

Of course, all that tecky aptitude does come in handy. He did just agree to build three invisible doors.
