As the editorial department would not have had the presence of mind to take the picture (and the art department was tucked away for the evening).
Rolando clanged the bell outside of our house three nights ago in a frenzy.
He wanted to show us a tercipello (fleur-de-lance) that he had whacked while walking his rounds on the back trail at night.
It was only about 3 feet long, but it was a chunky bugger. The fleur-de-lance are in the viper family and very venomous, which is why Rolando will go out of his way to get rid of them.
That would be No. 7 in five years for Rolando that he has whacked.
So, for all of the folks hesitating (we know you're out there--Honolulu, Janesville) it doesn't happen very often, so get on down here!
