alligators in the back yard

I can't stop wondering about the family that was on one of the two trading spaces reality shows (can't remember which one) that lived in the bayou and ran a tourist boat up the swamp to show off the many alligators. and they hunted them and sold jaws and heads etc.

all those gators will be spread around everywhere along with the snakes.

lawsy!

I can remember, way back, maybe Camille, reading of a person stuck in a tree because of flooding. and sharing that tree with a cottonmouth snake.

2. Forgot about those dangers, absolutely insane all that will have to
be taken into account as far as dangers after this storm has passed.

4. The "toxic lake" effect is the scariest. Oil refineries spilling
their contents out into the streets. If that happens it will be uninabitable for a long time.

3. yeah, this is really awful for the critters, too.
Not much you can do for wild alligators.

It's sad.

5. my mom had a friend that lived in the
bayou when I was a kid. I loved going there. Every night she had alligators come visit her...We fed them those big jet puffed marshmallows. They loved em...and they let us touch them and hang with them. Seems like they were her buddies. I miss those days...
