"Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made." -- Genesis 3:1, NIV
This little devil wandered up onto our back patio this morning. It was about 3 to 4 feet long. I don't know if it's a rattlesnake or not. I didn't see a rattle, but I didn't look that closely.
* * *One of my favorite books -- "Freedom" by William Safire -- has a line that I think is a classic. The scene was two Washington politicians just prior to the American Civil War. No love was lost between the two. One said to the other, "Sir, had you been present in the Garden of Eden, the role of the snake would have been superfluous."
