We live in a very small town. I am on friendly terms with most, but I really only have one friend I have anything in common with. I met her because she owns the local bead store. We are both rock hounds and love crystals. Sadly, snakes is not on the list of shared interests. She looked rather taken aback when I mentioned I wanted to get one.
I can't explain it to her unless she is willing to look at a few web sites. There is a video out there an Australian guy shot of a long wild carpet python crossing his yard. Nine feet (?), or so of fluid sine wave traversing the grass. Is anything more graceful?
