"New Hanover County inspector finds alligator in attic of a house". Very much alive.
That's up in Wilmington, about 35 miles north of where I live. Last time I was in my attic, I didn't see any gators, but I'll keep my eyes pealed.

See, part of the problem is that you aren't looking for them in the first place. We all too often become inured to the sight of gators as we go about our daily business, and then reading a story like this comes as a shock.
ReplyDeleteI mean, just because you didn't "see" any gators in your attic doesn't mean they weren't up there. Open your eyes, pay attention to your surroundings!
Oh, and never go up to your attic without a can of gator spray.
I remember hearing stories about people putting a garter snake in the attic to keep the mice away, but then you've got snakes... better than a gator anyway.
ReplyDeleteStephen: this is just life changing. I mean, I trip over the things all the time when I'm outside, but the attic was the one place where I had complete confidence that I could relax in peace and safety in an alligator-free environment. Now, that feeling is shot all to hell.
ReplyDeletetom: I knew a guy who bought some snakes of some kind to do the same thing - kill the rodents in and around his house. One day, though, he happened to notice that there weren't any birds singing...
ReplyDeleteA gator a day keeps the inspector away ....
ReplyDeleteSheesh, I just wish my neighbors yap dogs would go away.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you should get yourself a gator, George. They just love little dogs.
