We used to drink at a bar called Whitey’s Fish Camp outside of Middleburg FL. We’d get hammered on Jack, sit on the edge of the dock and watch hundreds of glowing eyes.
Florida decreases one’s wisdom and risk aversion...

I was at Sawgrass Golf Course in Jacksonville Fl...

Gators actually hang out at the pond there as you enter.

Pythons and Gators....beware in Florida!

If more northern state liberals took to more swimming in Florida’s rivers, lakes and swamps, America would benefit.

That’s a capital idea.

I’ll ask the mods to remove my PSA.

You were at Whitey’s Fish Camp?!?

Middleburg is the home of Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Sorry no gators in this park or the upper part of Ichetucknee.

Water is to cool for them.

I got hammered with many a NAS JAX person.
A few of the people in my neighborhood were pilots.

We used to go fishing at night in remote lakes and watch the hundreds of glowing eyes from the flashlight beam ... and then jump in to cool off!
