My spouse wants to move to Florida. Every now and then I ‘think’ about it, and slowly my mind works its way around warm sunny Florida, with fruit trees in the backyard and warm sunshine.

Then I read a story with a headline like this: Large anaconda captured at Fla. fish camp

And all thoughts of moving erase from my head…

This particular “BIG GIANT SNAKE” was a mere 12 feet long and of the ANACONDA variety! IT was captured at a fish camp after initially being spotted in a drain pipe. They think it’s responsible for the disappearance of several ducks and geese in the park.

Officials believe this to be the first anaconda captured in the wild in Florida. Anacondas are from the Amazon and capable of reaching 30 feet.

I think I’ll stay right here in Oklahoma, at least our snakes aren’t giants!
