    Bill has good reason to be concerned. His last name’s Van Winkle.

    Good thing the gator was neither amorous nor hungry.

    I would probably not stay in that hotel.

    Gator kind of reminds me of Sango when he wants a belly rub. But I don’t think Bill wants to give the gator a rub.

    Yep. It’s a little known fact that gators like having their belly rubbed.

    See, Bill? You have a few too many double naner daks down at the Tiki, and your friends will haul you out and put a stuffed gator next to you. Of course Emma was in on it! She’s never forgiven you for that “little incident”.

    I just don’t think those new drugs are doing very much good for you, Bill. However, there is just the one crocagator, which is fewer than the normal 20 hippopotami my,my that hang around the pool.

    Isn’t urban wildlife a wonderful thing?

    I put a proxy bid on four wheelchairs being auctioned off by The Oregon Zoo. They are listed as being in good condition and from what i can see of them they look okay.

    I have been wanting to get a regular wheelchair for the van. not long after i got the van i used it to go pick someone up at the hospital and had to stop their house to pick up a wheelchair. I have a "transfer chair’, but thats not the same thing.

    I can keep the best of the four for myself, i know someone that could use one at her home, and I’m sure that it would be easy to find homes for the other two.

    My top (proxy) bid is $40, and presently have the bid at $27. The auction runs for another five days.

    If (IF) i win the bid i will go up next Friday. If the day is nice i will make a day of it. I haven’t been to the zoo in a couple of years. It could be fun.

    This did not happen in Ballard !

    This happened to Bill on a recent vacation trip to Disney Resorts, in Florida.

    Gators around the pool are as common as gators on the golf course in Florida. They give a whole different meaning to water hazards.
