Am told the men caught another snake this morning – definitely a grass snake this time. The man who saw them said they had tied a string round its neck & were trying to cut out its tongue with a knife, the idea being that after this it could not “sting.”1938. He was in a sanitorium.
*Well, yesterday. It's past midnight.

Mac, sorry to be so slow. The pooch is doing well. Back to normal, really. Thanks very much for asking.
