Maybe his pond dried up and he's looking for another. He might attend the rain dance.

We wondered what was going on. We came to meet the builder today and have lunch and saw a van and 2 carts by the side of Buena Vista.

Default Hungry either way!

I recieved a e-mail with the complet set of those Gator Pics.

My neighbor up here said maybe a ocassional Skunk Racoon or Woodchuck in the back yard isn't so bad after all!

I'm thinking its a young male looking for a date!

Or its a young male sitting outside the house saying " Here Kitty Kitty come out and play"

Let me guess they are protected and you can't shot it! Right?

Default And What do you do!

Now I know I'm a gonna get Skyguyed + on this but I have a dumb question.

So you walk around the corner of your Village Home or the Golf Course and there you are face to face with Mr. or Mrs. Gator!

I would think turn and run like H-- the other way or does that make a Gator wanna play go fetch the white meat?

And the answer is?

FRom what I hear, a gator can run up to speeds of 20 MPH for a short distance. I think it is best to CALMLY walk away.

They say the best thing to do is to run away in a zig zag pattern. My nephew, who fought in Iraq, confirmed that is also his strategy in combat, or "when running away from cougars in a bar".

I think he's looking for one of those small white dogs I see all over the place...
