Knowledge of Good/Evil?


I first saw this little garter snake while half its body was below ground, presumably hunting for food: worms or lizards. I waited a long time for it to come out, tapping my foot to create vibrations to encourage its emergence, but I only succeeded in driving it further into the hole.
After waiting patiently for five or ten minutes, I finally got a good look at the snake as it backed fluidly out of the earth. It posed for a few pictures, then plunged back into the nether world.

Yes, that is on the grounds of the COC. I don't think Becca was around. She was probably engaged in some of her fieldwork, such as hunting down sunflower seeds that the Director sometimes drops on the floor when he's at his computer.
