I had to share this story because it is just too funny.  A few days back in the Press Enterprise there was a story about how a realtor found an alligator in the backyard pool of a home she was previewing.  Apparently the pool was murky and dirty and there was an alligator that had been abondened in it!  The house that the realtor was previewing was a foreclosure and wasn't in great shape. 

 Apparently, the fire department had to pump out the water from the pool in order to get the 3 foot long gator!
