A venomous banded krait caused quite a commotion slithering near my
gate. It wasn't a big fellow; just into his teens, I should think. This
species is not known for its aggression or nimbleness- being a lethargic
serpent species. I let the chap slither away unmolested into the park. I
didn't at all mind the young gentleman serpent out on his evening
stroll through the colony and the wider world; more importantly, my dogs
didn't mind him at all, which must mean he was an OK fellow.
But, as is the habit of homo sapiens around these parts, passersby and
layabouts in the vicinity were quick to film, gabble about and spectate
like incorrigible voyeurs, disturbing the fine sensibilities of the
young snake and forcing him to hide in the bushes. That's humans for
you. That's my snake story update for today, hopefully my next update on
snakes will be titled- "The spectacle caused by a spectacled Cobra."

CHOICES IN LIFE- BANKS AND BANKERS
When banks want to screw you; they do a good job, what are your
choices in life when it comes to banks and bankers. May I suggest a
few.
Scenario 1: You are neck deep in a river, stuck between a well armed banker on a boat and a crocodile Best choice: Embrace the crocodile-it only wants to eat you, the banker wants your soul.
Scenario 2: An apocalyptic event has overtaken the world and a searing, flame ringed, sputtering wall of lava, 500 meters high is engulfing your city, you can feel the scalding heat on your face as you race away from the inferno, the bank building with its armored vault is the only place of possible refuge. Best choice: Walk into the lava! bank vaults trap souls for all eternity.
Scenario 3: Suicide bombers have overtaken your local bank and come out with a list of demands which must be agreed to within four hours or else they blow up the bank and kill everyone inside, you are the chief of police. Best Choice: Do nothing. Because one should never negotiate with terrorists.
Scenario 4:You have six friends on facebook because you are such a loser that even the guys with fake profiles wouldn't add you. Five of them are bankers and the remaining one is a stalker who keeps sending you his soiled undies. Best choice: Unfriend the five bankers, the stalker is your fan! He might not be such a bad guy at all.
