Actually the second. Larger snake was there earlier in the day, but wouldn't pose.

Plastic Bag Ban Fallout Yee-ikes!
Some people are already prepared, as I found out today. She was a neatly-clad, late middle-aged woman in line at Price Chopper. The store was busy as usual, and there were several lanes open. I was in no particular hurry, though there are places I would rather be. I got in line behind this woman, who had only a few items in the top of her cart.
What followed was the Reveal. From the bottom of her cart, she presented for checkout a handsome cloth bag, insulated. She proceeded to remove from that bag several packages of meat, which she carefully returned to the insulated bag after scanning took place. Then she placed several canned items on the counter, and reached into her cart and took out another bag, not insulated this time. She put 2 more of her fabric bags on the counter, leaving several more in the bottom of the cart. I could now see that she had a carefully folded stack of cloth bags, of different sizes and colors. She deposited the items of her choice into the designated bags, according to texture and weight, I supposed. And she was deliberate in her actions, a well-organized and well-coordinated mission.
Oh, please, say it isn't so. I promise I'll make sure each plastic bag is properly reused, recycled, and/ or both.

I wonder what gifted and talented qualities Melania's parents brought to the country when they received citizenship a year or so ago. Could it have been-----Melania?
