I loved the way the caller was kind of taken aback with how the 9-1-1 operator was so chill about her report. The most exotic type of animal escapes in Boston are usually pythons of various sorts but there was this one time…

Yeah, that chat devolved into every conversation in the south. Honestly one of the reasons I enjoy living here; you just never know who you’ll be chatting with.
