After going that far, he'll probably just set up a new territory. Snakes can make their way back home from a pretty good distance. Some herps (and fish and other critters) are philopatric - i.e., return to their natal home when breeding time comes around. Pretty cool!

And I think kangaroos are pretty darned cool.

I was thinking of Nanci this morning when I was riding. I saw a big red-eared slider crossing the road in the park. He made it to the lake safe and sound. The duck and geese were quacking/honking at me. I quacked back. People must think I'm nuts on my bike. I also saw a ring-neck dove and wondered if Nanci sees them around where she lives. I would guess so. They're not too exciting, but are really big! They're like 3 morning doves put together.
