Big bird picked me up in DesMoines, Iowa on Monday morning and he tossed me out 2.25 hours later in Clearwater, Florida. This little guy was waiting for me in the rental lot.  He took me south on highway 41 to Naples, turned south on 951 and kicked me out in a 3000 square foot condo in Fiddlers Grove.  Tuesday Kia convinced me to go Naples city park for the day.   85* and sunny all day  |

That looks like a nice place to be.
Does Clearwater have a team? They must on some level.

Oh man. It's cold here in northern PA.
We need a train derailment in Florida. Not a crash and burn, just a need for manpower and make sure they send me.

Classic, you would be a kid compared to what I have seen around here. Florida is the raisin capitol of the USA! Phil, do you think a car alarm out of a certain black rental Kia laid on the track would create a warm job for you? |

That 1st picture I envy.
The gator, or croc are among the only animals that scare me.
The last pic looks like my home area this week. It's been a rough few days in the snow department.

The gator, or croc are among the only animals that scare me. I sat and observed a gator for about an hour. He would lay with his nose under the water for 5 to 10 minutes with no movement, looked dead! He would then move his head just enough to get his nose out of water and open his nostrils for about 1 minute then slowly move his head just under water again. A bird swam up about 6 inches from his nose and I thought a bomb had gone off  That gator chomped that bird and dinner was served. |

Gators sound intersting to observe, but I would not want a front row seat when it's dinnertime. |

I can't think of eating a gator. I can see making their flesh into wallets because the have such thick hard flesh not think of them as being good eating.
So they're tasty are they?

Gator has a pretty light and delicate flavor. I pan-fried some tail pieces that I had dredged in seasoned flour.

I've never tried gator before, but I've heard that some people eat it.

Hmm.
Aren't we not supposed to eat predators (according to the Bible, but, also as a culture)?
That's why we don't eat wolves..... and.... Sumo Wrestlers....
Now that I think about it: we do eat Shark, Bear,.... Moose.
Moose...the deadly predator of the automobile.

I might have to disagree with you this time Mahnarch. We have char broiled Sumo wrestlers every Wednesday night. You should see try it sometime a Japanese delicacy.
