OK, so maybe they don't actually "abound" but there was, in fact, an alligator in our neighbor's driveway! A FREAKING ALLIGATOR! I live in Iowa for Pete's sake. The woman whose driveway it was in called 911 (she's a grandma and was a bit freaked out, besides, I'm not sure if Web. City actually has it's own animal control). Turns out it belonged to someone in the neighborhood. The turnout for the show was something to see....I'm pretty sure every kid in the neighborhood was there. They ended up tossing the recycle bin over the lost little guy (about 2-3 feet long) to hold it until we could figure out what to do with it. It was quite the spectacle. Believe the Discovery Channel when they say those creatures are fast....the thing raced right towards Addy as it tried to escape its captors. Addy wasn't budging, and was likely excited it was coming at her - she was dying to pet it - Thank God Jim was on the ball and snatched her up before it got to her.
The only thing we're wondering now is where the heck the newspaper was....that had to be the most newsworthy occurance in our quiet town in quite a while!
