a cobra came out and almost bit me. Didn't know they had a flea market in Monterey but I'm fairly sure they exist in every medium-sized city by now. Going to Long Beach tomorrow*, will report on what I find. Gonna bring a flute, that'll fix those snappy Cobras.

* Ulterior reason for Long Beach - have to try serving a Summons & Complaint in Carson, a few miles away. Gonna get two Snakes with one Flute.
