Would you be this cool if you found an eight-foot king cobra under your dryer?
Mike Kennedy's cobra escaped a month ago. Intense efforts on the part of many to find it came up empty.
Last night Cynthia Mullvain was putting clothes in her dryer when she heard a hiss.
Did she panic? Throw a fit? No, but she did call for wildlife officials to come investigate.
They retrieved the missing cobra, which was officially identified by its microchip—not that king cobras are so routinely found in Ocoee, Florida that there was any doubt.
Ms. Mullvain is not suing—someone, anyone, everyone—for pain and distress. She didn't whine to the media about how scared she was, and how no one should have to go through such an experience. She didn't demand that the cobra be killed or not returned to Mr. Kennedy. She's happy to have him go back home, as long as his enclosure is secured.
I think Cynthia Mullvain is one cool lady and reacted just the way a good citizen should have.
