Saint Patrick

In grade school we learned about St. Patrick, who charmed all the snakes out of Ireland.

I wonder if that is true in today’s world? Are there really no snakes in Ireland? Forgive me if that sounds impertinent, but I really don’t know. I suspect that it is too cold up there for most snakes anyway. It seems to me that the further South you go and the warmer the weather, the more snakes there are.

Anyway, I hope the people of Ireland do no have to deal with snakes or any other kinds of rodents and pests, and that their life is as quaint and charming as all the postcards and photos make it appear to be.

In America, St. Patricks Day is a great excuse to bust out of Winter’s gloom and have a wild party. We have parades, green rivers, green beer and parties all over town for days before and on St. Pats Day.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
