Thanks for the comforting thought. The secret is to troll small, annoying
housepets behind you. ("Take Sparky for a walk? Sure I will!") Anyway, I've
been duckin' gators all over the SE this summer. I might as well add MS to
the list. Maybe I should issue the challenge for some night snorkeling and
find out who's really bold. Casper speaks 27 different fish dialects, maybe
he speaks gator too. (-;
Come on over. We haven't seen you this side of FL since the Oke trip.
