This picture was published in The Vicksburg Post yesterday under, "Give Us Your Best Shot." Joe Bonelli Sr., of Vicksburg and wife, Maria, who Bonelli said "was not as close as she appears," spotted this alligator on dry farmland inside the ring levee at Eagle Lake about two weeks ago, week before the Mississippi River crested at Vicksburg. Bonelli, a contractor, said he used his construction knowledge to estimate the gator's length at 12 to 13 feet. He also guessed that the alligator was "slough-hopping" through the farmland, about a mile from the Mainline Levee. Bonelli said he used a telephoto lens and he and his wife were about 30 feet from the alligator.

Holy Jesus. I admire you people down south you put up with tornados, floods, storms and bloodsucking mosquitoes the size of airplanes and huge alligators prowling the streets and gardens for an easy meal.
