alligators in North Texas again!

[Scottintexas]

ok, they never left but this isn't the coast, it's N. Texas, they should just be rumor not actual pictures,

a few years back they found a 10 footer dead and last year somebody saw a 6 footer at our boat launch because of the drought and the water level was so low (that is the next cove over from our swimming area) and today they posted this, http://thescoopblog.dallasnews.com/2015/06/9-foot-alligator-spotted-in-lewisville-lake-drainage-ditch.html/ I guess technically it's not the lake since it's on the other side of the dam but you know there out there, just under the surface, waiting .....

You don't have to live in the coast for gators. We have them throughout Alabama as well, even in central or northern parts of the state. Just last year they found a world record 15' 9" 1000+ lb monster in central portion of our state! Ironically the last record SCI gator was caught from Texas http://www.al.com/outdoors/index.ssf/2014/08/its_official_mandy_stokess_all.html

Freaking crazy... I'd never get in water where there were alligators. Good dang thing I live in the West!

Yet another reason I don't mind 6 months of snow.....

Hmmm.....6 months of snow......doesn't sound like fun!

 

[haknslash]

No kidding ! I'll take my chances with snakes and gators than dealing with snow and ice!

It was a lot MORE fun before they put Traction Control on cars. Stupid Technology. Thank God for the override!

My brother bought a Yamaha R1 crotchrocket. He took it out to the dragstrip a while back just for fun and to see how it would do. Not a race or anything. Before they would let him go down the track, he had to do a power break burnout. (I am not for certain why - maybe to heat up the tire to stick better to the track I guess) Well, with the traction control system on the R1, he couldn't do a burnout. He had to turn it off before he could do it.
