    Big Gator in our Pond Today - PONDZILLA!!




    Gator in our back yard pond today. Biggest we have seen yet.

    Will ask our resident Gator Expert Jim Nesci MPHS Jan 66 

    coldbloodedcreatures.com

    to guestimate size.

    Click to see the video

    ______________________________


    MPHS Gator and Snake expert Jim Nesci MPHS Jan 66 called but said it was too hard to estimate the length of the Gator from the video. He did say that the head is usually about 1/7 of the body length.

    I estimate the head to be between one foot to 18 inches long, so I am saying that PONDZILLA  is 7 feet to 10.5 feet long.

    Jim said that his Gator Bubba will be in a couple of movies in the near future.  Will let you know when.

    Age-Activated Attention Deficit Disorder

    A.A.A.D.D.- KNOW THE SYMPTOMS! 
    Thank goodness there's a name for this disorder.
    Age-Activated Attention Deficit Disorder
    This is how it manifests: 

    I decide to water my garden.
    As I turn on the hose in the driveway,
     
    I look over at my car and decide it needs washing. 

    As I start toward the garage,
     
    I notice mail on the porch table that
    I brought up from the mail box earlier.
     

    I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.
    I lay my car keys on the table,
     
    Put the junk mail in the garbage can under the table,
    And notice that the can is full.
     

    So, I decide to put the bills back
     
    On the table and take out the garbage first... 

    But then I think,
     
    Since I'm going to be near the mailbox
    When I take out the garbage anyway,
    I may as well pay the bills first.
     

    I take my check book off the table,
     
    And see that there is only one check left.

    My extra checks are in my desk in the study,
     So I go inside the house to my desk where
    I find the can of Pepsi I'd been drinking.
     

    I'm going to look for my checks, 
    But first I need to push the Pepsi aside
    So that I don't accidentally knock it over.


    The Pepsi is getting warm, and I decide to put it in the
    refrigerator to keep it cold.As I head toward the kitchen with the Pepsi,
    A vase of flowers on the counter
    Catches my eye--they need water. 


    I put the Pepsi on the counter and
    discover my reading glasses that
    I've been searching for all morning. 
    I decide I better put them back on my desk,
    But first I'm going to water the flowers.


    I set the glasses back down on the counter ,
     Fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote.
    Someone left it on the kitchen table.
     

    I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV,
    I'll be looking for the remote,
    But I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table,
    So I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs,
    But first I'll water the flowers.
     

    I pour some water in the flowers,
     
    But quite a bit of it spills on the floor. 

    So, I set the remote back on the table,
     
    Get some towels and wipe up the spill. 

    Then, I head down the hall trying to
     
    remember what I was planning to do.
    At the end of the day:
    The car isn't washed,
    The bills aren't paid,
    There is a warm can of
    Pepsi sitting on the counter,
    The flowers don't have enough water,
    There is still only 1 check in my check book,
    I can't find the remote,
    I can't find my glasses,
    And I don't remember what I did with the car keys.

    Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today,

    I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all day,
    And I'm really tired.

    I realize this is a serious problem, and
    I'll try to get some help for it,
    but first I'll check my e-mail....

    Do me a favor.
     Forward this message to everyone you know,
    Because I don't remember who I've sent it to.


    Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!
     
    P.S. I don't remember who sent it to me, so if it was you, I'm sorry
