Officials said it was one of the the biggest snakes they had seen in 15 years -- measuring 18 feet and weighing more than 400 pounds. It is 30 inches around.

The snake's name is Delila. According to officials, the snake was left behind by a previous owner and was being cared for by the current resident -- and was fed four rabbits today.

Another reason for me being glad we moved from Florida. We didn't have pythons in Alabama, but we use to never have armadillos in Alabama either. So far, we have none of either in Ohio. I guess I should count my blessings.

I see that is breaking news on Fox.com. But I can't open it to read about it, curious what this is all about.

See, even Robert Groves, the ACORN APPROVED head of the census is cutting ties. Everyone and everything is dispensible. There is just as bad corrupt organizations endorsed by the administration. They will go at it from another angle.

Census Bureau Severs Ties With ACORN
The Census Director has sent a letter to the National Headquarters of ACORN notifying the group that it will no longer have a role in conducting the 2010 census. ACORN had previously been tapped to help with low level data gathering.

The Census Director has sent a letter to the National Headquarters of ACORN notifying the group that the Census Bureau is severing all ties with the community organizing group for all work having to do with the 2010 census. ACORN had previously been tapped to help with low level data gathering. A copy of the Director's letter has been sent to Congress and relevant committees, as well as ACORN.

This latest news comes as two more ACORN officials were fired Friday after a second video surfaced showing staffers in the community organizers' Washington office offering to help a man and woman posing as a pimp and prostitute acquire illegal home loans that would help them set up a brothel.

The firings came less than 24 hours after another pair of ACORN officials from the group's Baltimore office were canned for instructing the "pimp" and "prostitute" how to falsify tax forms and seek illegal benefits for 13 "very young" girls from El Salvador that pair said they wanted to import to work as child prostitutes.

Both of the encounters were videotaped on a hidden camera wielded by 25-year-old independent filmmaker James O'Keefe, posing as the pimp — tapes that have ignited calls for investigations of ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.

The group's leaders said Friday they were "appalled and angry" at what their staffers had done, but insisted the videos were part of a political "smear" campaign and not representative of the institution as a whole.

"But that does not excuse the behavior of the employees," wrote ACORN's president Alton Bennet and executive director Mike Shea. "We have fired them and are initiating an internal review of practices and reminding all staff of their obligation to uphold the highest legal and ethical standards."

Rep. Charles Boustany, R-La., called for a hearing to investigate ACORN's tax filing assistance programs following the release of the videos he said suggested multiple incidents of tax fraud.
"In light of the apparent flagrant and willful attempts to suborn tax fraud, I ... (am seeking) a hearing of the Oversight Subcommittee of the House Ways and Means Committee as soon as practicable to investigate ACORN’s activities," he said Friday.

O'Keefe, the filmmaker, was accompanied by 20-year-old Hannah Giles, who posed as a prostitute. On a videotape of their visit to ACORN's Washington's office, they are seen receiving guidance to establish the woman as the sole proprietor of a bogus company to mask the nature of her business.

"She's not going to put on (the loan application) that she's doing prostitution ... she doesn't have to," a now-fired ACORN staffer says. "You don't have to sit back and tell people what you do."

I wonder how CNN, MSNBC, and the rest of the mainstream news media is going to explain this?  It was only a "few bad apples."

Bye Monkeys. I will see you a little later tonight. I am going to clean apartment before I get online.

That sounds like fun    I'm in bedroom he!! here still hanging pictures, and getting ready to move all her books and videos off the bookshelf. Am happy my daughter and her friend arrived, and have already toured the Winchester House up in San Jose. I'm sure they had a lot of fun, I know I did when I toured it many years ago. 

No Rose. I am glad your daughter made it there safely.

The fun just keeps on coming  Between finishing painting, fighting with these nails and pictures  shopping, and replanting some plants, I just can't wait to dive into the fun 

I am feeling your pain No Rose. Is it okay to give clothes to the Goodwill without washing them?  They are all on hangers.

Its getting there. I got home, cleaned out Josef's water bow, refilled it. Not two minutes later I turn on the washing maching. No water comes out. I go back to the sink. No water. I called the apartments and asked if the water had been turned off, she said I don't know but she would ask the worker guys. It was turned off for almost an hour. During this time we probably had 3 inches of rain in about 15 minutes. Josef freaked out, but I have gotten a lot more done than I thought I would.

I hope you are doing better tonight. I was really in a funk and cleaning kind of helped me out of it, I am going to sort my EastEnders videos by date during my next funk.
