Today on the bike trail, I saw 3 vultures teasing an alligator. Who wanted to eat who was still a mystery. I think they were both trying to manipulate the other to a point of figuring out how to get a good bite in, but it did not happen. One of the vultures was hopping up and down with wings spread, toward the gator, teasing "try to get me, I dare you" so the gator inched closer and closer, but, the vulture just kept backing up as he hopped, laughing I'm sure. The gator finally went back into the canal and gave up. They were both just as determined to get each other, but, both lost! Did those vultures really think the gator was just going to lay down and die so they could eat him? Ha!

I almost ran over two black snakes on the trail as well, one was half up and had its head up like it was going to strike, I just barely saw him at the last second and turned, barely missing running over his tail. Wow, that was close. If it truly was a black snake, it was not poisonous, no worries.
