living luggage



OK.  OK.


I know that everyone does not share my fascination with the crocodile that lives in my laguna inlet.


It reminds me iof a conversation Arlo Guthrie had one evening with Johnny Carson concerning environmentalists.  The heir of alternative America, criticized the defenders of endangered species: "If a Tyrannosaurus rex was rampaging through their neighbors' yards, they would be in favor of the dinosaur."


In relationship to the crocodile, I guess the accusation applies to me.


He may be a slight danger to the public, but i accept the risk.  I just hope he stays off the malecon.  If he starts cruising the tourist walkway, he is bound to end up as a handbag.


My land lady emailed this photograph to me.  He appears to be content resting in the sun in the newly-cleared area.


Good. 


We did it for him.
