Here  in central Florida we're not getting as much rain as normal and have lots of brush fires.  The alligators are getting cheeky and showing up in many places they shouldn't be. 

The other day a nine footer was found meandering through a car detail shop.  The nws people took some video of it.  The big guy would lumber a few steps, stop, lay down, look around than move on a few more feet and repeat the routine.  The workers and others who gathered (at a safe distance) were taking pictures with their cameras and cell phones.  The alligator ignored them and kept doing his thing until the alligator police showed up.  They roped him around the mouth and boy did he get mad.  He hissed and bucked all over the place.  They finally hog tied him and hauled him off in a pick up truck.

Several days later the cops were after some idiot in a high speed chase.  He drove his car into a ditch, got out and started running.  The cops ran after him and were astounded when the man did a 180 and ran back into their arms.  Seems as if there was swampy land ahead infested with alligators.  He chose the cops over them.
