While visiting FL, on land, watch out for one, when in the water beware of the other..

I personally dislike Gators and Hurricanes!!!

Especially when they beat us because our damn kickers can't make a measley little field goal!

I'll take the Seminoles over the Hurricanes anyday, but the Gators are the football team for me )

Well, I'm biased to Florida State due to the fact it's my Alma Mater. I have Gators in the family though, so it's always fun the weekend before thanksgiving!

Civilized countries do not have dangerous animals

I didn't actually read the article until today. Scary... We usually get a shark attack here once every couple of years. A woman had her leg bit 2 years ago (I think it was 2 years ago, not too sure.) Personally, I've never seen a shark up close here, but I've seen them from shore and from the pier (before a hurricane took out the pier that is...)

Anyways, latest reports I found were that the kid is hanging in there, but it's too soon to tell if he'll pull through.

My mom is a nurse in the outpatient surgery center of the hospital the boy is at. Always kinda weird when this stuff hits at home.
