EXCITEMENT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD

Yesterday the man reading the water meters found a snake in the neighbor's meter, so Bob called the Fire Department's snake removal number. Of course Bob had to help! So I stood way back and took pictures. Below Bob is opening the cover on the meter. The man from the Fire Department grabbed this big guy and was nice enough to put him down for a picture.
Then into the snake box.
There was another snake in the same meter, but he/she tucked way back in and no amount of prodding could get him/her out.
So Bob hooked up a hose and they ran water into the hole.
And they fished around some more, but still the snake wouldn't come out. Notice I'm standing way back!
Until finally the snake appeared, and he was really mad, so the man grabbed him and into the box he went, and I didn't get a chance for a good picture.
The people from the Fire Department told me that this was the fifth snake removal call they had been on that day, and this was before noon!
