That's Florida

Alligator Forces Walmart To Lock Doors:
6-foot Beast Makes Unwelcome Appearance At Apopka, Orlando Store


Not too long ago, my husband was standing at a nearby golf course and he looked over and saw a small gator standing next to him.

Years ago, while we were canoeing on the Hillsborough River, we had a huge gator go underneath our canoe and my husband was very angry with me because I was more afraid of a dragonfly than a creature that could eat us both.

Life in Florida.

  1. Cube - What a Florida woman you are.

    I have to agree with your husband and I would be afraid of the gator.

  2. I don't know what it means to be a Florida woman. I just know I hate bugs! My husband knows this even when he steers the canoe into bushes where there are millions of spiders and I'm the one in the front of the boat. I could throttle him for that.

  3. I was going to write something about alligators, but I lost it when I read that Hal 9000 big red eye watching me and had all my data correct.

  4. Jan: lol. Our bookkeeper had no idea what Hal 9000 was and when we explained it to her she said, "Maybe that's why you're having so many problems with your computer".

  7. Granny Annie: They are faster on land than people think. They look big and lumbering, but don't let that fool you. I wouldn't want to try and outrun one.

    And if they catch you in the water, they roll you over and over until you drown, and then they eat you.
