A year ago last spring I was sitting on the couch about 6 PM when I heard a knock at the front door. Normal time for the UPS man to come around.i looked towards the door and saw a shadow. I got up and went to front door thinking a package had been delivered. Opened the door and bent down only to find a four foot gator staring me in the face. Slammed the door shut and texted my wife to say you always wanted to see a gator up close, we have one at the front door. She said yeah right so I sent her a picture I took from the front yard. Next thing I knew I had half the neighborhood in the yard asking me what I was going to do. I got a garbage can,picked up the gator and took him to a local pond. True story!
