People like to complain for NO REASON. This, to me, is a reason to complain!

I, for one, would not want to live next door to a guy that owns 70 hand granades or 70 snakes!!! LOL
I'm in one of the nearby neighborhoods, and someone on NextDoor (which, as you might imagine, has quite a number of posts on the topic...) in his neighborhood said where this guy lives actually isn't in an HOA (just next to Brittany Woods).

He's a future Darwin Award winner.

So the snake's been caught, but the kid who owns it is still on the loose. And he's got more snakes.

Right. Pickwick Village.
The snake was a few hundred feet from home. LOL Neighbors might have further conniptions if the snake had had a GPS tracker with his travels made public....

I admit, I got a little too caught up in this story yesterday. Found some interesting reading, though.

I kept reading that the home with the kid and his snakes was in Brittany Woods, which does have an HOA.

Unfortunately for those of you that live in Pickwick and are happy to NOT have an HOA...not sure who is gonna take care of this situation NOW!

Usually when folks tell me they don't want to live in a neighborhood with an HOA, I explain WHY an HOA is good, how it keeps yards looking nice and how it keeps people from parking their cars on their front yard. Some people don't care. They don't want an "HOA minding their business". That HOA keeps your property values up!

It has never occurred to me to mention that, WITH an HOA, the number of poisonous snakes living next door to you can be limited but I will use that NOW!

And isn't it great that this person has gotten tons of free publicity! Maybe his YouTube channel membership will increase and he will have more money for more snakes! (This is SARCASM)

I couldn't stop looking for updates.

Just like I became obsessed with the empty chairs of two people at my company who logged into a division wide meeting last week (with the VP there) and then apparently left to go shopping, or whatever, and when everyone else turned off their cameras, theirs were still on, and remained on the screen with their empty chairs throughout the 90 minute presentation. I couldn't stop talking about it LOL. (We're all still working from home).

i was also in a continuing ed class via zoom last month, and a lady must not have realized her camera was on, and she was SHOVELLING IN the cereal and then her dog came up and started licking the bowl was eating out of....when we came back from break her camera was off

But the grenades keep the snakes away.

Damn, I thought for sure Animal Control would've caught him by now.
