Hello Val,
My mother in law lives near you in Sunrise. It's grown considerably in recent years, definitely not a sleepy suburb. A young woman was jogging near one of the many canals last week and was grabbed and killed by a large gator. It's doubtful we'll ever know how many people are killed yearly since Floridas main income is its tourism business, and these type things are kept quiet when possible. My mother in law lives only three blocks away from the incident. My wife was there visiting her at the time. As a teenager I lived just north of there in West Palm Beach. Alligators were considered threatened and protected. Maybe no one expected them to recover so rapidly. They've certainly made quite a recovery. Some of the canals are crawlng with these reptiles. I can't help but think they'll have to be moved pretty soon, maybe to Lake Okeechobee or to the Everglades. What do you think? Best wishes.
Cal - Montreal
