The big news here being that Florida still has an environmental protection agency.

Touche!!!

But you know what....Floridians really do revere their endangered animals. I have seen traffic held up for several minutes waiting for those blasted sandhill cranes to cross the road :).

That's me, every single day. It seems like there are more this year than usual. We've also been known to stop and help a tortoise get over a curb in the street.

You aren't a true Floridian until you've helped wildlife cross the street. Congratulations!

I think having this guy at my front door allowed me to level up, even after a decade.

All this time, I thought the requirement was to try pawpaw.

And slaw dogs.

Think of it this way, spray did not smell as bad as if it was a skunk at your door... And I doubt the skunks will last too long with him / her there.

The scale isn't obvious, but that was a baby. Look at the bricks... it was about three bricks long, which is pretty small. An eagle could have taken it if it wanted to.
