..so you knew him too!
Stevie would vanish in a real swamp in a heartbeat!
If all the snowbirds moving in down here would just calm down and try to learn a few things, the problem would vanish. I don't suppose I'm ever more than a couple hundred feet from a gator, and they don't bother me.
Things will settle down if we get some good rain, and hurricane season is coming. That should make the gators happy, but I don't reckon it will please the Yankees.
If I had $300,000.00 to buy a new house, damned if I wouldn't learn a few things about location, before buying it.
I love Florida because of what it is, stop trying to change it, you won't like it any better, anyway.
