I think too much. It gets in the way of things. I wish I could stop it, at least for a while. It is paralyzing and dangerous. It is worst after dark. Thinking at night is another thing. Last night's thinking, though, has carried over into the gray morning. Perhaps if the sun were out, I could get on with things, but I am paralyzed by the combination just now. Nothing to do but suffer through it and hope for some sunshine.
Here is the one bright spot in today's news. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has announced the 2013 Python Challenge. The person killing the most Burmese Pythons in the Everglades will win $1,500. The person killing the largest python will win $1,000. But, say officials, they want the killings to be humane and have a website with recommendations:
According to the rules of the contest, reducing the population means killing the snakes.
"We want to make sure this is done in a humane way," Segelson said. The competition's website lists several ways to kill a python "in a humane manner that results in immediate loss of consciousness and destruction of the brain."
It suggests shooting the snake in the head with a firearm or decapitating it with a machete.
