I don't know what the usual procedure for Thanksgiving is in your state, but here all the good boys and girls get a visit from the alligator trapper.
I took quite a few photos and we quickly came to the conclusion this wasn't the first time they'd been photographed on the job. They were rock stars.
Thanksgiving night rocked too with a bonfire out back. Some of the many things that got burned were coconuts, and one nephew swears that today we should all be in the burn unit in Tampa full of hot exploding coconut shrapnel. Another nephew warned us beforehand not to burn them because he'd burned them before and found the smell akin to "pure shit." We decided we wanted to see the smell for ourselves.
In the end the burning coconuts neither smelled bad nor went off like grenades. Instead we enjoyed a pleasant evening watching their eyes burning bright orange in the flames while a full moon looked down from the top of the sky.
How could you forget the skunk-ape sighting?

My daughter's 'boyfriend' got his trapper's permit recently. I knew it was cool, but I had no idea that it qualified him as rock star. Now that you mention it, I guess it is pretty cool.
Did yall have a visit from a nuisance lizard ??
