    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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....

Looks like we have another gray rat snake prowling around....

At least I think it is a gray rat snake, looking at the shed skin. Haven't seen him at the bird feeders yet.
 
Neat find. My folks have a few resident black rats on their property that we see frequently.
 
I found a black rat snake inside the house not long ago. Since the room wasn't well lit at the time my first thought wasn't that there was a wild snake in the house, it was that one of my own snakes had gotten loose. It wasn't until I picked it up that I realized the snake wasn't one of mine.
 
Spotted one leaving the house from an (until then) unknown hole in the wall.
