Update

Frankie is back with his mom, I saw a poster at a local convience sign looking for him, and despite much confusion, due to my not being able to speak japanese and her not being able to speak english, 3 hours after initial contact was made Frankie was back in the loving arms of his mom, who was a little weepy, I was glad to see he was loved.  Things are back to normal here at the McCawley hut
and I found a tiny blind flower pot snake in the back yard yesterday while digging a hole for my Bokashi. It's harmless but I still didnt touch it.
