PS: apologies also to jonno. Did not pick up on the "goose" aspect
and did not set out to cause a ruckus! (or stir the family pot)

As with most things "computer" and communication, one must be patient,
lest one upsets those who are not so gifted in patience.

Too true. Used to be very patient. Guess in getting old, there is less
time in which to be patient. That's my story and I'm sticking to it ;-P

I take the mickey out of anyone and anything, after all, we're a long
time dead, and we should have some fun.

Yep; a smile a day keeps the doctor away; or perhaps at least, at bay.

Geese (or is it gooses) are usually good with snakes..

So I've heard. No personal experience. I have also heard they are good
with roast vegetables.

Ya should let the "goose of a man" take it out with a shotty...

I dooded that as previously stated. A nice little orchard gun (.410)
took care of the problem. Others were just chased off the property.
Did not have any choice, not being one to get up close and personal
with wire, shovel or hose pipe. Do you know how long it takes to find
the keys, unlock the gun cabinet, take out the firearm, unlock to
ammunition locker, take out a packet of shells, load the weapon and make
haste to the last known location of the intruder?

While I like some of the do gooders attitude,in letting them, live,
they're bit of a danger around the house, and man is the natural enemy of
the snake. So be it.

I try to do gooder; I no longer attempt to run over a snake on the road.
If they keep their distance, I keep mine. However snake(s) are one
thing which send chills up my spine; as one would expect of a good
little mouse.

As far as tracing a snake and its families personal habits, thats going
a bit far...

Intrusion on the family life you think? Not enough respect for privacy?

Lets all close the subject.

Aawww! But yes, seems fair and sensible, provided the questions have
been answered satisfactorily.

keep smiling
