I'm One Snake Tong Away From Having It All

This morning I'm looking down stats, checking searches. I like to see what other see before the come over. And while sometimes I get some oddities, this one tickled me! From Pakistan--a search for snake tongs!


That the search lead to my page doesn't surprise me, remember Snake Charming at the abode? It's just...why? What's going on here? What is this snake tong he/she is searching for all the way over in Pakistan. And did the search produce a good quality pair? I only ask because I needed some not so long ago.

Less than three years into owning this house, and I've seen more live things that didn't include humans, cats or dogs than anywhere else. We've battled brown recluse spiders (I need to blog the photo of what that'll do to your child's lip when bitten), lizards, lizard tails (those tails really do fall off when caught in spider traps, so I count them separately) mice, silverfish, drain flies, teeny tiny little ants, and one giant, vicious and possibly dangerous garter snake.

As I drive out of the neighborhood, I still get excited when I see the geese crossing the street. Sitting in the street. Walking down the sidewalk. Hanging out in the yards next to the ponds (Kristy, it's a downside to having your view, but it's so entertaining for me), and even deer just out for a stroll. I love that part. I love that this neighborhood is filled with nature. And if the occasional and possibly venomous snake is part of the package, okayyyyy I'll do it. I bravely wrestled one and won and I can do it again. But I think I need some of those snake tongs. Where are the snake tongs?
