The freaking snake was bigger than the sticky thing that I used to hit the ball in the water.
I learned 3 important things that day.
1. Florida + H2O= snake
2. If you hit the ball into the water just let it go and move on with your life.
3. I really hate golf

Florida + H2O = Snake is correct.
Florida + H2O = Alligator is also very correct.

Believe it or not, the below story is also from today in Central Florida.

Small Plane Crashes In Lake Jessup
Thursday, April 10, 2008 1:37:02 PM

SANFORD -- A small experimental seaplane has crashed and sunk into Lake Jessup.

Authorities said the pilot, who lives along the lake, reported trouble
before crashing around 8:45 a.m.

Alisa Keyes, of the Seminole County Fire-Rescue said two seaplanes
attempted to take off from the lake when one hit something and flipped over.
A witness said the plane might have hit an alligator.

Keyes said a boater saw the crash and rushed to help the pilot, which
was particularly important in Lake Jessup because it has a large
population of alligators.

Keyes said the pilot was treated on the scene for head and leg injuries
and then airlifted to Orlando Regional Medical Center.

better job filling it up...THAT IS FUNNY.....Any ways Jack, Having lived in the south for most of my life,
when it comes to snakes,
I have discovered that there only two kinds of snakes......
There are rattle snakes.....
There are snakes that eat Chickens....
If you see a snake
that doesn't have a Chicken in it's mouth...
..Its Got to be a rattle snake...
