Rewind to last Thursday.
I decide to stop by Goodwill on a whim. I head to my usual section—the books, records, and dvd's. I'm a bit let down when I don't find anything. I stagger off towards the electronics section, and that's when I see it— a 65 gallon aquarium with a light strip and a dirty python no spill stuffed inside it. The price was $25. I did a quick inspection and then walked away to think about it. Five minutes later it's in the back seat of my car.
As I'm driving home I start thinking of how dumb it was to buy an aquarium at Goodwill—even for $25. I can already picture the leak in my head. I tell myself that at the very least, the Python will probably work.
A week later, the tank is filled and cycling. The Python is in the garbage.
