how does Alexa know?????......

..... I was watching The Waltons...an especially sad one....about cancer...and hubby is suffering from that too ( but with a better ending). So I was all teary and Alexa Show pops up with a story about a python who swallowed a towel. As a former owner of constrictors I smiled... I asked her for the story and I smiled more. How did Alexa know I needed that story at that time?

But she pulled herself together to try to cheer you up with a funny story, like a good friend would do.

She's cool like that.

The snake thing is probably a coincidence, but ... maybe not.
