As much as I can't stand most republicans, democrats are even worse. I heard Chuck Schumer this morning talking about how the democrats were too timid and that's why they lost the election. He said this time they are going to be bold and "GO AFTER" the evil rich. He used the phrase "GO AFTER" over and over. "We're going to "GO AFTER" the big pharma companies. We're going to "GO AFTER" the big oil...

I saw 3 snakes yesterday while I was doing yard work and so far I've seen about 15 this summer. It really seems like the snakes are bad this year, has anyone else noticed and increase in snake activity? Has anyone tried that Snake Away (saw it at Home Depot) stuff or know of a snake deterrent?
