yup, the ball on the left is within the leathers - it's good - mark it a birdie, Dude

the ball on the right, it's a two putt - good par

to the next tee

We used to have one on one of the courses near me

It was not that big maybe 5 or 6 feet

one day someone in our group hit a tee shot over by it which was sunning itself on shore

we told him to pick up but he thought hed just take a club and kind of shoo him back in the water

he got within 10 feet and the gator took two steps toward him and hissed real loud

our man turned around and ran back to us

we laughed at that for years

he was called Steve for Steve Irwin (of the crocadile hunter fame) from then on

An adult gator can run about 10 MPH +/-. Unless you can run faster than that, stay away. Even the little ones. The mother is always close by.

I can run faster than that. 

Also, I'm still not going near one.

The Pajaro River on the border of Monterey and Santa Cruz counties breached a levee early Saturday, flooding the Pajaro River Valley.

Across the Central Coast’s Monterey County, more than 8,500 people were under evacuation orders and warnings, including roughly 1,700 residents — many of them Latino farmworkers — from the unincorporated community of Pajaro.

“This community is a small, disadvantaged community, mostly Latino, mostly low income farmworkers,” said Monterey County Board of Supervisors Chair Luis Alejo. He added that this same flooding happened in 1985. “It's heartbreaking to see the community under flood waters today. And we know that these residents are going to go through some challenging times over the next several months to try to get their homes repaired and make them habitable again.”


He also said emergency staff is predicting another major atmospheric storm on Tuesday, meaning that the evacuation and the the flooding of Pajaro River is likely to continue for several days.

"A county spokesperson told me the entire town is under some level of water, but we can't say exactly how much," said Linden in an interview with KQED.

Linden said he also spoke with residents on the Watsonville side of the river which hasn’t flooded. Many residents there had evacuated their homes in the middle of the night, and many had slept in their cars.


Torres said the levee system had “never been built to capacity.”

“It was built back in the '40s, and I think the bigger problem is just that there's been a lack of focus on maintenance to better it,” he said. “Some [projects] were supposed to be coming down the pipeline soon, but not soon enough.”

nettles, poison ivy and oak, burrs and brambles I can deal with

insects are worse - fire ants, hornets, yellow jackets, wasps, bumble bees

Poison ivy used to have no impact on me, until it did.  Had to see my doctor when it did, it was really bad.
