Is the Rio Grande too cold for them?

Yes, I think so at this time of the year. Pity, crocs are really aggressive unlike gators.

Well they sure didn't play very aggressive today against TCU.

Might as well kill them. “Relocating” them will result in most of them dying a slow death and the ones that don’t die will have made their way back.

If you grew up in Chicago and somebody dropped you off in the wilds of Alaska you probably wouldn’t last too long either.

“Is the Rio Grande too cold for them?”

Yes, pity. They probably would develop a taste for Mexican food.

American alligators are ingenious to the Rio Grand.

Texas Parks & Wildlife needs funds for a restocking program.

Ozymandias
BY PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY

I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, was a tough guy and has some share of the blame for the nonexistent attempts to damp down the partition massacres. That said , he was a notably materially simple man who would be appalled and outraged simultaneously at this very expensive bad joke.

Exactly.

I see you understand reality.

These crocs have territory and fit into a pecking order.

Transporting them to a new place means they push out an existing croc, or they die. If they are successful, the other croc probably dies.

I flatter myself that I’m ingenious, too, though not to the Rio Grande.

It is Saturday night and still working on the beer.

I admit that I am completely impressed by the size of that statue, but that is one of the most uninspiring monuments I have ever seen. It's a big slump-shouldered guy.

If you enjoy it, it isn’t really work.
