"He viewed himself as anything but a nuisance. But he was glad to make himself one if provoked..... I could eat, he thought." Ha ha ha

"Cade’s goggles, an extravagance like his breakfast, floated to the bottom of the swamp water. Dislodged from his detached head, which floated away separately."

Ah, thanks, Scott. I can always count on you to gross me out... euw!

Is it fair to compare the poor gator to the TV news. Mother Nature, score 1!

Poor Cade. Haha. I'm glad the gator's okay, though. He was just doing gator things. The bear really did surprise me beary much. Another awesome tale, Scott. Thank you for sharing.

I like to see the wild ones win. I do feel sort of bad that Cade won’t be enjoying extra guac. Great story!
