Aw, bb, you're the sweetest. You really know me about living things--yesterday we discovered the lawn mowing people had completely chopped down a beautiful flowering plant we have, and I cried and cried all over again. :-( :-( Fucking life.
You're so right that it could have caused an accident, but there literally wasn't even time to think about swerving. It breaks my heart because birds and prairie dogs and squirrels can learn to be careful of a road, but it's just not a thing a snake could understand. I also realized he was only on lane two of six (!), plus he might have wandered around by the gutter any amount of time looking for the place where he wanted to cross the median, so the chances of his surviving crossing the road were very slim even if I'd managed to avoid him, but still, why'd it have to be me? :-( Ah, fuck, and now I'm tearing up again.
You are so sweet, bb. Just knowing you're here is a great comfort. <3 <3 <3
