There are several Threads about Gators and snakes here on TOTV. Reaching into the tall grasses can land you in the hospital and "too sick to die". I've seen a golfer who was bitten by a pigmy rattlesnake and he spent the night in Leesburg hospital "too sick to die" his words. Just east of Leesburg in a lake Harris canal a 11-12 year old boy (while visiting his grandparents) was eaten alive by an alligator. This happen about 9-10 years ago---almost too horrible to mention.

We live in Florida. No need to be paranoid about Alligators or snakes but we definitely need to stay out of their habitat. No golf ball is worth going there.

I've got a friend in N.J. who is tighter than a crab's butt with money. He is forced to have his own check when the guys go out for a meal. It's embarrassing breaking a bill down to the penny. We just divide the bill by the number of people because we are friends, almost brothers, so if we were golfing this clown would be the one to risk all to save a few pennies. I'm a mix of Dave Ramsey & Ralph Kramden. It's rough to be cheap. I'd rather be somewhere in the middle.

We all know what happened to the child at Disneyworld. In light of that I think it's a foolish mistake not to post warning signs at every pond, lake, and preserve here. To my knowledge there are no signs at most of them, maybe none of them.

I'm sure The Developer is aware that there are alligators around and that they can travel through the interconnecting water pipes and reappear somewhere else, but there are no warning signs. The potential liability should make them worry.

Sermon over.
