Interesting epitaph. Hints of gyroscopes and mercury. On the article dealing with a snake infestation, we had a home right outside of Asheville in Fetcher that had a basement. One day I was walking up the steps from the basement into the kitchen and found myself face to face with a seven foot black snake. Not wanting it in my home, I pushed it through the wall, to the outside, with a broom handle, killing it in the process. (And I love black snakes, but I couldn’t tell exactly what kind it was in a dimly lit step section of a basement with the light 12 feet behind me.). I only found out what kind it was when I picked up its dead carcass. They are a VERY beneficial breed when it comes to rodent control around a home. Anyway, that very week, we found our kitchen overrun with mice coming from the basement. We took care of the mice, but would never have had to if I’d left the snake alone. My beautiful wife Audrey, though, was proud of my ability to protect the home from lions, tigers and bears, oh my!
