The one I seen in Cheaha was in a dumpster I threw trash on it, it screamed, I screamed we both ran ( in different directions ) that was 1973-74 about 15-20 miles from where I was born.
My gf use to frequent Cheaha with her parents when she was little, her dad passed last year and his request was to have his ashes spread there, so we did..

Yeah, there is a lion park nearby, they also have tigers. And a few other big cats...
They get fed chickens from a local chicken farm. You might stand a chance of fighting off a smallish lion with a weapon but a big one will swat you dead like a fly.

Oh yeah I am also scared of crocodiles... even if I see them from far away. They just look downright evil.

No, lol. I live in a quiet village on the wine route. I was still in school the last time I heard about a cheetah coming down the mountains... And they are not really big enough to be a threat. Oh yeah, there are plenty of baboons in the mountains that will fuck your shit up if you mess with them.

I'm with you on the lions thing - an awesome animal and I get the same vibe from Crocodiles as well - the further away I am from them the better.
Gators roam here, pretty common. They backup traffic sometimes when they decide to lay in the road. They even come up on the beach sometimes, I never would have expected that. A rattlesnake washed up in the surf recently. That’s the last thing I wanna see at the beach, or anywhere else..

the bears here are too friendly, that's the problem with them, the tourist feed them, they get used to being fed, then when you run out of food, they get pissed. they dig in dumpsters, and destroy vehicles. they may not look scary, but a big black bear can hit 450-500 lbs, nothing compared to a grizzly, but they'll still rip the door off of your car if you piss them off, and roll your car over

I swapped out a thermostat and patched some old holes from previous thermostats. There's been a unpainted spot that's been bugging me on that wall since the last time it was replaced, maybe 10 years ago, so i went out and had 15 year, plus, old paint color matched for touch up paint and it's a perfect match. Fucking awesome. It's amazing how just painting a 12" x 12" spot on one wall cleans up a whole room. Then I fixed a wire harness for a plow, i had to solder about a dozen wires together that someone cut and used cheap crimp connectors on, so they all corroded. i went to patch the plow blade but a couple small holes turned into cutting 6" out across the top and bottom. Now I need to find some 1/8" plate steel at a reasonable price. Then i fell asleep on the couch for a couple hours. I've been so fucking tired the last week. I'm sleeping 8-10 hours a night, when normally i do about 6, and falling asleep late in the afternoon. IDK what's up. It's fucking with my life. smoking some Jack Herer and waiting for chicken pot pie to cook.

British Columbia has some pretty cool signs that get the point across point blank.
