Mouse and snake drama at church rest room in Columbia

In Columbia Tennessee a mouse entered the Episcopal church rest room and a three foot garden snake followed. The snake killed the mouse and began to exit the room with the mouse gone. Bishop James M Maxom witnessed the event and preferred the snake to the mice. The snake remained unharmed. A separate note mentions a Washington State bill proposing auto mechanic licensing for those with at least four years experience.
