remembering a snake

a landmark of sorts for me at chattahoochee is the impression in the concrete left by a poor little snake that got flattened when the concrete was poured and finished ten years ago --- the body was long gone, but it left an excellent reverse cast of the snake

within the last month, someone has painted the impression, which will probably last a long time since it won't be subjected to direct foot traffic

it's cool and all but i sorta wish they had left it alone
