Disclaimer: I think the fact that a large snake on the loose is very serious, and I am concerned for those who have been harmed by it and have the possibility to be harmed by it. That is not what I am laughing about.
Only in Alabama do we have such intriguing news. Mom told me about seeing the news story of the snake on the loose in Sumiton (Walker County), Alabama. She told me to check it out, and y'all, this is my latest obsession. The first link is the story with the video in the upper right hand corner. The last two links are just stories, but the second link is much more elaborated than the other stories I have read.

Now that y'all have had a chance to get caught up with the story, let's review the highlights. I love the plethora of cars in the background. The rusted broken down tractor (or as us Southerners like to say "broke down"). I love how the newscasters were SO SERIOUS while reporting the story. But, my favorite part has to be the part about how the woman had to literally bite the snake to get it to go away. I think she deserves a picture in the dictionary next to the word hardcore.
Also, what puzzles me is this is Walker County, y'all. Where are the guns? Or machetes? How can one have so many forms of vehicles laying around and no weapon? (And in Alabama, tractors count as vehicles.)
