Jackie says, "Oh look, a baby alligator, isn't she cute." I ask her how she knows it's a "she." "It's small and cute," came her reply. So how can I refute that logic without walking directly into trouble? She kneels at the edge of the water, gently taps a stick on the surface and sure enough, over comes the three foot gator for a closer inspection.
"She must be hungry," exclaims Jackie, and scurries back to the rig for some gator food. What better to feed little girl gators than sardines, right?
Chunks of sardines rain around the gators head with little more effect than the blinking of her large eyes. Though little miss gator never dined on any of the tasty morsels, she didn't shy away either. I'm thinking she found Jackie's sardine-toss quite entertaining and was sticking around for the shows finale.
Half an hour later and she was still patiently waiting.........
Tom, a fellow "Blue-road'er" and expert on all things 60's, floral and gators said, "Try some crackers with those sardines, that's the way I like mine."
To all of you stopping by this Christmas Eve, "Merry Christmas" and save your sardines for yourself, gators haven't the least appetite for them.
