Thank you for the compliment! As I told Justin, it really needed at least one rewrite and a proofreading. What on earth is an intestine doing all alone on your front lawn? Do you live under a vulture flight path or something? Have you seen any confused California condors flying by? Maybe one of your neighbors sending you a warning. One can always hope for miracles, or hungry animals, but I bet that intestine is still there this morning. (I trust you kept Meyers in for the evening.) Let's hope no other body parts showed up during the night.

I once found an intestine on the street in front of my grandmother's house when I was just a kid. At least that's what I thought it was as I went over to inspect it. I finally realized, although I had never seen one and I have no idea now I could have guessed, that it was a discarded, used condom.

slither off like a snake That may be a clue in The Great Intestine Mystery of Summer '02, as it suggests the possibility that a snake had decided to molt right there on your lawn. I remember that shed snakeskins resemble dried innards.

LOL! I wait all year for my time in the garden, for walks in the woods, and for reveling in the great outdoors. And then there are those critters, insects and birds that make your life less than pleasant. The cats stalk and chase my birds and drop carcasses of little rodents in my driveway...the mosquitoes bite, the gnats annoy, the ticks spread their disease and the slugs chew away at my lawn. The birds, who are my favorite species, come in abundance to my feeders but build nests in the umbrellas on my deck and peck away at my flower boxes. I know, I know...I'm b#@%^ing again...but why can't my three months of glorious outdoors be free of bites on my arms and bird droppings on my head? Ahhh...summer!!!
