He comes by on Thursdays usually, I'll try and get him to sit still long enough to take his picture

1- put the towel completely over the head
2- those gator heads are strong you need leverage. He was sitting way too far back to secure the head
3- you go for the jaws not the neck
4- MOST IMPORTANT
After step #1 above, walk briskly back to the house, pour a double bourbon, call and wait for animal control or FWC

Unfortunately my toy piece of shit PTZ5A4M-25X was chasing a trailer (ONLY human filter enabled
)
It would have got a much better video, but alas...
Instead it got this..

Fire the other day. Total loss apparently.
Looked like about 8-10 minutes before first water was put on it judging by the smoke.
Nobody home
Series of 4-5 loud explosions as heard on 2nd video beginning at about 14:51:31

I was thinking, "Wait, where's that gator?" 
And "Who fishes them out if they tip over?"

99% of the time Gators wont mess with you. Even in a yak.
I've stood wade fishing in Mosquito Lagoon eye to eye with one in about 2.5-3ft of water about 25ft from me for an hour or more and all he was interested in was the redifsh I hauled in.
But yeah, that 1% can be a bitch!

My little outside stray cat buddy turns out to be a girl!
We call her Hemingway becasue she has extra toes, big ol thumbs to be precise., (Polydactyl)
She comes by every morning about 4-5am for breakfast. She's learned I often sit in the carport for a smoke with my coffee, so she's learned to come there and lead me to the back porch where the food bowl is. I'm usually up about 5 but if I sleep in she'll meow and walk back and forth at the back door, I think she knows this makes my phone ding

She likes belly rubs and lays at or on my feet when I’m out for a smoke.

So, wait - that cat, that isn't yours, has you trained to respond to it's calls for feeding at 5am? And then it probably goes home for it's owner's feeding for it? So many quips to be made here, that I will abstain. Too easy.
Clearly she has me trained.

I get that. I put out cameras to monitor rodent activity and have found unexpected enjoyment seeing my various four legged neighbors doing their thing in the dark.
