Guys,

You will notice that most of these problems with Gators come from South FL where the Yankees have infiltrated. The way I see it, Florida should be divided into two states - akin to North and South Carolina. North and South Florida.

We North Floridians do not associate ourselves with the Yanks down South. Want nothing to do with them. Our way of life and theirs is as far apart as sweet & unsweet tea. Whoever heard of a decent Southern man having an "unsweet tea?" Exactly.

We come across gators on the family farm all the time. And just like old salty tooth, he will defend himself if necessary. I do not blame him. Last June, I was forced to get one out of the pond in order to protect the deer chasing chihuahua I have. She would have been a light snack for him as he ended up being 10 and a half feet long.

I hated to take him out of there and end his life, but I saw it as his life vs. the deer hunting chihuahua. There was no comparison.

Guys, hope you get the chance to get outside today and maybe ride the 4 wheeler with close family/friends.
