There's a Snake in the House

After the snake went outside it then went up this tree.

Alisha says: So while in Georgia for USA Cycling Nationals I accidentally let a big, like four foot long, black snake into our host house. They said that they have never seen a snake around their house before and the one that did show up I might have let in, oops. I actually hold Ali partly responsible.

We had just finished dinner and Ali and I were in the kitchen starting to clean up. I opened the door to go outside and right there was a big black snake. I closed the door and had Ali come look. The snake then disappeared so that we couldn't see it anymore. Ali said that it had gone under the deck and thinking the coast was clear I opened the door to go out. Then out of the corner of my eye the snake came from the other side of the door and slithered right into the house and down the hall. Tayler, Kmac, and the hosts were still sitting in the other room at the dinner table so all they heard was some shrieking followed by "umm, we need some help, there's a snake in the house." John wanted to know where it was and all we knew was that it went down the hall. Fearless Kmac, with some help from the dog, found it in the corner of their living room behind the tv. Luckily there was a door that went outside in that room and when they opened it the snake went out by itself. I guess it decided inside wasn't the place to be which I was very grateful for considering my bed for the week was an air mattress on the floor. Needless to say it brought some excitement to the evening.

The next day as we lined up for the start of the road race word had gotten out about the snake and the announcer even talked about it on the start line and called me Dr. Doolittle because I seem to attract wildlife (see previous posts about critters in our backyard).
