It's been too long between posts. (If there are no posts to a blog nobody's reading yet, does it make a sound?)
Anyhow...
Longer ago than I care to admit, I was heading home from my dead-end job (well, dead-end unless I want to move to India — that's where all our work is going!) in a local office park. In the middle of the main drag were 2 young men who appeared to be flagging down cars in both directions.
When I get out of that place, all I want to do is GET HOME — now I'm dealing with panhandlers/hitchhikers/robbers/?.
I had little intention of stopping, so I was planning a route to keep moving without hurting anyone. Then the guys started moving to the side of the road. WTH?
That's when I saw the snake — probably a good 3 feet long, black with some kind of colored pattern on its back — making a beeline for the curb.
Only in Howard County does a snake get not one, but two crossing guards!
Glass-half-empty type that I am, you'll see a lot of griping in this blog (which I can only hope to make as humorous as Cranky in Columbia)... but there are also a lot of positive scenes like this one that make Howard County unique.
And I plan to publish them when I see them — even when they reveal my own misjudgments ;)
