So whenever I would see a King Snake it made me feel good because I assumed that there would be no rattle snakes around. If we found a King snake somewhere else we would always bring it back and put it in our yard. I hadn't thought about that in thirty five years. Now looking back on it, the idea that king snakes would eat rattle snakes seems pretty preposterous.

If you saw a king snake, you should have assumed that there were rattlesnakes around. Otherwise, what would the king snakes eat?
More importantly, though, I want to say that I like you. This board has been more interesting since you've been around. You bring a helpful touch of randomness (even though it obviously pisses RP off -- we can chalk that up to her being hormonal).
