    Rule of thumb in Florida: if you can’t see the bottom of a body of water, there’s a gator in there.

      And all around it! If you can see water, gators can get there.

      One night, a bug gator spotted us, ran away and just started tearing up a neighbor’s patio trying to hide. I kept thinking they would open the door and find it right there.

        You can make a decent living wrangling gators from pools & golf courses. My dad had a “Gator Guy” to handle them.
