I have a love hate relationship with going home at lunch. I usually go home and eat and chill and watch an episode of something. Lately it is Scandal. And it is all I can do to turn it off and come back to work. I wish I could work half days. And feed my TV obsession. Its probably a good thing I have impressionable children who shouldn't be watching things like this so I am not allowed to watch it all night long after work.
The "city" I live in is on this Nextdoor website (it's like facebook for neighborhoods) - the lady that actually saw the snake posted that she saw it on her driveway "headed towards her house" so now people are driving down our street looking for it, as if it's just sitting in the driveway chillin' ...
I just went out to check the mail and got stopped by the crocodile hunter of my neighborhood, dude is out searching for the snake.. and then some people that live on the street behind me stopped to ask if i've seen THE SNAKE because someone posted on the website that it's creepin' around here.. People, it's a snake, in Florida.. not the lochness monster. There are woods directly across the street from my house, and then a huge grass marsh to the left of our house.. good luck finding that SOB.
I kind of hate Nextdoor. It's like if all the neighborhood busy bodies were on my fb! Apparently we've got a coyote (or a couple) in our area. One has been sighted a few times in broad daylight, but always through trees or in the street a hundred yards ahead or so. My guess? A stray dog, or even a pack of them.

I strongly dislike nextdoor, it's insane. A bunch of old people with absolutely nothing better to do - I was a member several months ago but quit because I couldn't handle the ridiculousness of it all. I only joined again today to see the post about the lochness monster.

In keeping with the vacation/world cup random, we were in St. Lucia the week of the World Cup 4 years ago when USA was playing England. We went to dinner to the tepinyaki/hibachi place and there was an English couple at our table. My husband had a few drinks so he decided to make a bet with this guy about the game. If USA won this guy was going to shave his head and if England won my husband would shave his beard (it was big, and he needs it to look good LOL). So we make the bet and start getting to know the couple a little-Wife said was she did and then husband says his job. My husband doesn't hear him well and says "Oh you're in software?" and dude repeats back louder, "No, I said I'm a SOCCER player." Yeah, he's a pro soccer player in the Premier league. It was pretty funny that we made a soccer bet against him. Luckily England and USA tied and no one had to shave anything!
PS, His name is Michael Turner-He used to play for Sunderland, but he's on a different team now.
