I catch snakes all the time, so I would just grab it and put it in a pillow case. For other people, trash cans and brooms work. just lay the can close to it and use the broom to gently move it into the can.

Bravo!!!

It was raining when I left and she did not have her umbrella with her. She does have a small storage unit nearby where the umbrella is. Hopefully she will get it tonight. I don't know what she will do otherwise. She is going to need it and probably a cheap poncho. We are starting to break out of our drought. We are expecting 8-10 inches of rain over the next 5 days.

$500 is a tough ask. $5k? Piss off

It is also possible the card will be graded wrong due to someone having a very bad day (or good one) or other internal things (rumors of artificially keeping the population of high grade 1993 SP Jeters low, etc). I have never been a fan of grading because of the subjectivity, but have done it before.
