Open Question

A Volusia County deputy sheriff violated department policy when he tried to
wrestle an alligator late Thursday in a Deltona apartment complex parking lot.

The first deputy on the scene followed procedure and called for a licensed
trapper, said Sheriff's spokesman Brandon Haught. When Deputy Sheriff Keith
Baughman arrived, "he decided to try to handle the alligator," Haught said.

After placing a towel over the 8-foot gator's head, Baughman got the on animal's
back, Haught said. The alligator was able to throw him off and bit him.

My very first vist to the "Sunshine State" was 36 years ago..
Do I ever have some great Gator stories...
Mostly fond memories...
Always barefoot...and thihinking my feet would be cut to pieces by the sharp dry
summer grass..or...scorched by the burning pavement...
We, mostly, lived in the water...:)
My latest visit...last april..catapulted me into Snake Wrangler status...:)
This, of course, was on the heels of my Sister-n-law...discovering a Pygmy
rattler coiled up in the center of her family room..
Yep..that's right..Sooz..the Snake Wrangler...lol
The Pygmy Rattler...involved Medevac...SO VERY SERIOUS!!

Car dudes...LOL. I love Stockpickr. I'm going to buy me one day a 68 Camaro.
Also give me an 88 Monte Carlo SS. I drove American, Euro, Japanese. I
currently love my Toyata pocket rocket and slapped in a TRD racing clutch, cold
air intake, suspension and next maybe after the 4th of July I could get my
Racing brake package kit TRD for my stopping power. Speed is no good with out
control.

Man Just got home watching Kud. What made you think that I was 36. I could
understand the confusion of 50, but my mind was dyslexic for that moment I typed
in my thoughts of I wasn't even around 40yrs ago and was just a gleam in my
dad's eye...lolz. I love my dad & miss him.

Still give me a gator. I love all of outdoors and the wonders of Mother Nature
and Our ecosystems. I could be one of those dudes on Discovery/Animal planet.
I love all species the earth brings us. Just don't have no foreign species
introduced in our ecosystem. Ie. Zebra Mussels coming from ballast tanks,
Snake Heads, Chinese turtles. Please don't release exotic pets in the wild if
you can't care for them. Please dispose of them or give to a organization that
specializes in the species of pet you have. If you want to look @ a country or
island that is getting hurt from invading species that were never supposed to be
part of the ecosystem. Australia comes to mind & the Gallapagos.

a buddy of mine had a souped up '69 Dodge Coronet, dark green, beautiful car.
One night we are driving around and he says, "uh oh, there's a cop who
doesn't like me." He took off like a bullet and sure enough, that cop was
left in the dust. Man, I was shaking I think for two days

I have only been to two races at Daytona, and from personal experience I can
say: it is very difficult to drive a car even at just 100 mph

A: Seriously Artie, Where did you get TATR from ?
Reminds me of the comedian on Comedy Central that gets arrested and is asked for
his
alias' or nick names.

He says, ..... "Tater."
