I was in the back yard hanging up some clothes to air them out, when I heard a scream coming from the side yard.
I ran as fast as I could to see the HVAC technician screaming, but not moving.
I asked if he was okay, but he was frozen. I knew the HVAC technician was to come to the house and work on the air conditioning unit, but I didn’t think it was time yet. I tried to get him to talk, but all he would do was point. I saw his pants leg moving, and I had an idea what had happened. There was a small snake that hung around the air conditioning unit to eat all the little bugs that were there. I had this feeling that the snake crawled up his pants. I asked if that was the problem, and he nodded yes. I didn’t want to be forward, so I called the HVAC company. I was sure the snake was harmless, but you never know. I told the person who answered the phone, and asked to talk to the owner. I explained to him about the snake and I was going to call 911. He told me to hold up on the car until he got there. When the HVAC company owner arrived, he told the HVAC tech to be very still. He couldn’t have moved if he wanted to. With a pair of tongs, the HVAC company owner reached up the tech’s pants, and slowly grabbed the snake. He pulled it out quickly which was a good thing. It had its mouth open, ready to bite whatever it could.
