snakes on a jog

how is everyone today?
yesterday i went for a 4 mile jog.  i’m so glad it was cooler outside because i still got super hot and sweaty but if it hadn’t rained that morning it would have been so much hotter and uncomfortable.  there was a wonderful breeze that blew at the perfect times.  yay!  anyway on my jog i came within a foot from stepping on this:

a black kingsnake!
it was curled up on the side of the road.  it scared me and made be jump!  we are both lucky that i didn’t squash it.
