Weird Weekend
This has been a weekend for weirdness and it's not even a full moon. So far this weekend:
- A smelly hippy with a large plastic bag came through our yard & headed for the front door.....where Sassy was chilling on her run. Mike said she chased him halfway across the yard, in full attack mode. She was rewarded with an extra-special Very Good Dog treat: "Frosty Paws" Doggie Ice Cream.
- A customer came through my line carrying a live snake.
- A customer asked me if my braid braided itself as it grew. I managed not to laugh....barely.
- A customer yelled at me because we were out of the dog food he'd been feeding his dog "for the last 20 years". Now that's one old dog, isn't it?
I can hardly wait to see what today brings.

Live snake?! WTF? Aren't there laws against that?

If there ain't there ought to be.

There's nothing wrong with snakes! As long as the snake stayed on its owner....
I don't miss retail at all.

I'm not phobic about snakes, just have a healthy respect for them. And a slack-jawed mouth-breathing redneck with a clearly frightened & coiled-to-strike ball python loosely held in his hand is not someone I was anxious to hand change back to.
I felt sorry for the snake....the guy was obviously clueless.

Heh...and my mother thinks that she will be rid of reptiles when she moves from Florida to Arkansas in a few weeks...

Well, she ought to be far enough north to be away from the gators at least. Wait 'til she finds out about chiggers though.
