Maybe you are asking, What is a Habu? Well its a poisonous snake here in Okinawa. They are everywhere, but over these past 3 years I've only seen them in captivity. Down in Okinawa World they do a crazy snake show. They show how a Cobra can only strike in certain ranges, like its blind to all movement behind him. The snake dude will put his hand behind the snake and hit the back of its head! Then they show the Habu...who has a 360 degree strike range...yeah. So if you are near one, you better watch out! So on Sunday we were at church, we were getting ready to leave when a little Okinawan boy runs by us saying they caught a Habu. Jeff, the boys, Tara and I run around the church building to see it...smart, aren't we? When we rounded the corner we see a small group of people back by our church playground. We get back there just as some guy had beheaded the snake. Some other guy was holding up its dead body. Yuk! My boys thought this was pretty cool...me, not so much, mainly b/c this snake was hanging out on the hill right by the playground, where my boys play at every day for recess. Scary,...YES. Well get this, a group of kids found the snake while they were playing on the hill with their ball. They saw it, and luckily ran and got a grown up. Eeesh. So that's the closest I've come to one of those darlings in the "wild". Hopefully no more will come 'round, especially around our kid's play area!
So, on to a Suh-weet sale! Sara and I walked to the BX today and they had a woman's dream come true...women's clothing on sale! lol An extra 50% off all sale items...Yes!!! So I got a cute black skirt for 6 bucks, a shirt for 4 bucks and another shirt for 7. Nice huh! :)
Well, Tara is sitting here squealing and picking at a string coming off of the carpet. I think she's about ready for a nap. Better get her down so I can get some cleaning done around here.
Have a Suh-Weet day! :)
