mezzrow said...: Did somebody drop a Gator in that lake? I wish I could pitch the idea to Leon Varjian.

Happy to see the geese standing in your way (instead of mine) this time of year. They are lovely - on the water and in the sky. In my supermarket parking lot? Not so much.; 6/1/22, 7:25 AM

2. Any bear that went after one of those goslings would not live to tell the tale. That is the voice of bitter experience, and I didn't even do it on purpose!; 6/1/22, 7:42 AM

Mrs Whatsit said...: I think it's a beaver. We see them all the time on the lake where I live. They hold their chins out of the water and swim fast with a sharp wake, just like that. Not a monster, but not so good for your trees, which they'll chew down, or your water quality as they can carry giardiasis. Good luck getting rid of them, though!; 6/1/22, 9:27 AM
mikee said...: The monster is clearly composed of about 8 pixels, and thus is readily able to be defeated, if necessary, by any Mario brother.; 6/1/22, 11:05 AM
Rusty said...: It's a beaver. A big one. It's Wynona's big brown beaver.; 6/1/22, 11:16 AM
Narr said...: Blogger often scrambles the videos; now the Monster link shows purplefaced Pinocchio.

Plus, Blogger sometimes eats my contributions. This seems to be my day. Probably a half-dozen this morning, but I see later timestamps on other threads.; 6/1/22, 6:28 PM
