Default The only diamonds I want to see are on slot machines.

The man I was talking to at the Lynnhaven Postal Center was a fellow dog walker. I warned him about a small black racer I had just encountered. These are not much to worry about unless you corner it. Then the racer will get aggressive. He did not seem at all worried about black racers.

He mentioned that there had been a snake with a diamond pattern on a utility lid.

He told me that the only diamonds he likes seeing are those that show up in a row on a slot machine.

I assume he is the person who saw the snake on the utility lid. He seemed very reluctant to go anywhere he could not see ahead of him on the ground for 20 feet or so.

If I see a snake with any kind of diamond pattern, I think I'll keep about 20 feet away from it too no matter what it actually is.
