LPH - nope not kidding. A rider in my office was in a pace line - both experienced, good steady guys - I'll follow them anywhere - when guy in front slams his breaks because there's an alligator on the path. Rider in back swerves to miss, goes down hard on the grass side of the levee (the river side has a concrete cover). Crash resulted in a broken scapula, and pelvis. But good news - he's healed and back riding. The lead guy took it hard that he broke his friend. Allligator did a swift walk back to the Mississippi.

This time of year the Mississippi is still running pretty cool, so we're not likely to see 'gators, but give everything another month to warm up. Apparently the gators have discovered tastey bits coming over from the sub-urbs. Heerree fluffy!
