When it went under the car, wouldn't it be easier just to drive over it?

Chuck Norris's dad live in FL?

Just a little guy since 4ft includes his tail. Growing up in FL, I've always used the rule of thumb, if you're bigger than the gator, it'll ignore, or more likely try to get away from you. The one's you need to worry about are the ones you don't see. The big guy's can sit practically unseen in really shallow water - that's how they hunt.

Gators in my garage would very quickly be known as dead gators.

Mating season comes earlier than May. I don't live near any water but it's not uncommon to see a big one, looking for love, come lumbering through the yard in April. We're always trying to teach the kids to stay away from them but they're drawn to them out of curiosity and don't realize the full danger. The dogs get the worst of it when they chase after them barking and, inevitably, getting too close - never realizing that the gator is much faster than they are. Between the fire ants, heat and the gators, Florida is a tough place to be a dog.

This reminds me of my extremely sweet, innocent son at age two. He was "working" with his grandpa around the yard. They would work for ten minutes then stop to take break - eat and drink - together.

This was a grandpa who knew how to work to please babies...for it was just a bit that he had them on a visit. One time grandpa found a nest of rattlers in his garage and ran to get a shovel to chop off their heads. His grand baby hollered "no grandpa, don't kill the baby snakes" because the baby boy was too young to understand why we kill poisonous snakes.

Grandpa, being the man he was, took some time with the baby boy on the Internet to show him the boo-boos poisonous snakes cause people. Then it was "kill 'em grandpa! Kill 'em all."
