    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

PORTSMOUTH, R.I. (WPRI) - Officials in Portsmouth say last month's search for an escaped Burmese python cost the town $1,600.

Back on July 24th, Portsmouth Police led an extensive search for the snake, which had slithered away from its owner's home on Gormley Avenue. Officials put the entire neighborhood in Island Park on alert.

Seven Police officers and members of the Fire Department were involved in the search. The police department incurred more than a thousand dollars in overtime costs to call in two officers to handle other calls while the search was underway.

The snake was eventually found under the foundation of its owner's home. According to police, it was the third time this same snake escaped. The reptile's owner agreed to surrender the animal to Environmental Police. The agency has since found the Python a home in Providence.
