My Hero

The boss came laughing downstairs this morning and told me about a dream he had.


The after effects of the flood are still all around us....and he was dreaming of it....


Down in town, the waters washed up a baby seal that was swimming valiantly down Main Street, followed by a ferocious alligator that wanted to eat it.


The boss was the only man around and all the older women on the flooded street hollered at him to save it from the alligator.


So into the flood he waded, grabbed it and tossed it in the pickup truck, only to be accosted by a conservation officer who arrested him for picking up seals without a permit.


Whilst this was occurring the gator came upon the officer and accosted him in turn.


The older women screamed again, "Kill the alligator, kill the alligator," and handed the boss an iron pipe.


He proceeded to follow their instruction, but the officer gave him a ticket anyhow, and added one for killing gators out of season.


Later, in court before a kindly justice who used to live down the street from us, the ladies all testified in the boss's behalf.


The judge said, "Not guilty," and threw it out of court.


I wonder what happened to the baby seal........

Another failed photo from my Sunday Stills pursuit

For some real fun, go here and check out these incredible photos of dogs fetching toys...under water (although there are no seals, old ladies, or floods). Trust me, you had no idea what fearsome wee beasties we harbor in our houses. (Scarier than that tropical Fultonville alligator I can tell you!)


Update...here are some more underwater dogs.
