Due to the extreme drought in Florida, the following caution was issued:
The Florida Department of Fish and Wildlife is advising hikers, hunters, fishers, and golfers to take extra precautions and keep alert for alligators while in Bay, Seminole, Osceola, Polk, Brevard and Orange Counties.
They advise people to wear noise-producing devices such as little bells on their clothing to alert but not startle the alligators unexpectedly.
They also advise the carrying of pepper spray in case of an encounter with an alligator.
It is also a good idea to watch for fresh signs of alligator activity.
People should recognize the difference between small young alligator and large adult alligator droppings.
Young alligator droppings are smaller and contain fish bones and possibly bird feathers.
Adult alligators droppings have little bells in them and smell like pepper spray.

Alert — Scammers target World Trade Center Relief
Scambusters.org and several news sites have received alerts that there are scammers out there promoting sites that are
supposedly for relief organizations (or promising to donate money from sales of product.) Please pass the word to your less
technically adept friends not to fall for it. This is a list of OFFICIAL sites for monetary assistance.

hee hee… I knew it. as soon as I set up a contingency plan, either LJ’s working fine, or I have to work double-time today, so I can’t post anyhow.
Well, it’s nice to have the fire exits clearly marked, anyhow.
Good News! Newt’s coming into work with me tomorrow! I should get some extra litter to keep at work.
Next possibility… Newtcam @ work? I have the laptop.

lj news with a nice, complete state of affairs. state of the goat address. I know I appreciated it.
how many other free picture hosting areas are around?
brinkster finally wized up… any news on how soon LJ’s image server will be implemented?
note to self, write full story re:evil SUV in the morning.
in the meantime, to tide you over, here’s a manatee.
addendum –
And about the Humans for Sale site I’ve been seeing mentioned…the site is most likely a “marketing” mechanism for gathering email addresses and very specific demographic information. Proceed with caution.

If you haven’t heard about it elsewhere, then hear it here: if you run IIS 4.0 or 5.0 on Windows NT or Windows 2000, there’s a security patch you should probably install.

Man… some really misinformed youths out there. click on them to read some common teenage myths about contraception.
It found 85% of GPs thought young people were not using effective contraception because they were too embarrassed to ask for advice. But 70% believed ignorance was the problem, and 70% believed teenagers were worried their confidentiality would not be respected.
(And yes, overlap occurs. it’s not bad math.)
Despite the noise and annoying passengers, being a train conductor must have its moments:
Gil Murtagh’s train from Hoboken, N.J., stops at Paterson. One day recently, a pretty girl got off and ran into the arms of a young man holding flowers. From his seat, Mr. Murtagh smiled nostalgically at the lingering embrace, mood uplifted. As the train pulled out, the conductor smiled, too. “She was smooching with some guy in Hoboken also,” he said.
My first attempt to use the ‘quote class’… let’s see how it looks… not sticking out. bah! it must be restricted, or I’m doing it wrong.
In other news, another hippie couple of my aquaintance is fertile. Leisa is 2 months along now! Here’s a picture of she and me at my first phish show, way back in the day.
Well, thats 2 sets of Hippies… Dave and Cathi are about 4 months along now, too. They had an ultrasound recently, and as soon as the image comes back, I’ll post a link… I’m so amazed by the human life cycle, and how it works. Women have some remarkable plumbing that men don’t… (and vice versa… women’s are just more active in the cycle.) That’s part of the reason I started the

Nice, if somebody with a vulgar name wants to read you, or whatever your reasons might be to hide it.
