Al, we barely knew ye....

Well, as fast as I was able to report on Al E. Gator, he was gone. The Game Warden was able to trap him this morning and take him away in a big cage - apparently Al was none too happy about it, as he thrashed and hissed and snapped the whole time. I guess he liked it here. Why shouldn't he? Nice float for sunning on, plenty of turtles and ducks to chow on, nobody really bothers him...it's no wonder 3 out of 4 gators choose our pond for Spring Break vacations! And apparently Al was Gator #2 this year...Game Warden says they removed another one last week. Maybe it was Al and they just didn't move him away far enough...I guess we'll never know. So goodbye, Al. See ya next Spring.
