My oh my, when I left my previous job at the FOX station in Orlando, FL and came up north, I thought I had seen the end of  reporting on stories about alligators. Never say never, huh?

I got to meet a 29 inch gator today, captured by Warminster's Public Works Director, George Mullen. This is his third gator that he's captured. He's ready to get a job wrasslin' gators in Florida. And a 3 to 5 foot gator was spotted in Horsham last week and that's still out there.

There's a place near Orlando, called Gatorland. Yes, it's a gator themepark, with thousands of gators all over the place and they do have an alligator wrestling show.  I had done my fair share of stories there, even sitting on top a seven footer for a camera piece and holding a 3 footer during a live shot. The mouth was always taped tho :p Leave the wrasslin' to the experts.

No I didnt touch the gator I met tonight. Although I did get stung by a honeybee (bees) when that hive fell off a truck on the NJ turnpike over the weekend.  But the past week has been interesting, Bats, bees and now a gator. What's next? It's what I love about the job.
