One snaky reason not to live in Australia

A poisonous snake bit 78-year-old great-granny Valerie Makin as she knitted and watched TV in the living room of her home in Werribee, Australia.

The Herald Sun has a photo of the sneaky snake, which gives me the creeps and brings back memories of being completely freaked out by all the black snakes, rattlesnakes and copperheads slithering around southern Ohio when I was growing up.

Guess that's one advantage to living in San Francisco, where the snakes drive meter-weasel carts, sell real estate and work for law firms.
