In another scene out of a Carl Hiaasen novel:
ERO BEACH, Fla. — A 16-foot-long Burmese python was captured on a city street after a passing motorist spotted about three feet of it hanging over a curb and called police.
The brown-and-yellow snake was wrestled into a body bag and taken to the home of Vero Beach Animal Control Officer Bruce Dangerfield.
I want Knopf to publish my novel. They really pull out all the stops for publicity over there.
