re: #244 Decatur Deb

When we moved here, this was about the northern edge of the alligator line. There was a tiny visitor the kids named “Izard” in the stream a couple hundred yards away. Now they are killing 900 pounders in the lake 50 miles north of us. Wife and daughter paddled their kayak up to a 12 footer pretending to be a log.

Bees and dogs are still more likely to kill one of us.

There was a BBC article about a woman from a town in the Santa Monica Mountains who chased off a mountain lion attacking her son.

I think the article headline should have read “Mountain Lion Defends its Territory from Encroaching Humans”
