           As my boat approached, the big reptile grew increasingly uncomfortable.

 I've only seen a few racks that size in New Jersey,

which we boys referred to as "Candlestick Tines".

(Look at those brow tines!)

Actually, gopher tortoises are on the endangered species list, and are very closely guarded.

If a tortoise burrow is found on a lot for sale, in addition to impact fees,

the prospective buyer must pay to relocate the tortoise to a new location on Lake Wales Ridge.

This is the same gator pictured above, after he lost his nerve & crashed into the drink.

I was hoping for a better shot, but lost time ducking the splash.

I'd like to officially announce that I am a gopher tortoise (actually half gopher tortoise, half Irish) and would like to be "relocated" to Florida. Also I will take those impact fees as payment for past transgressions upon my fellow tortti (plural of tortoise). The law demands it.

Being an "Irish tortoise" makes you One-Of-A-Kind, and I dub thee: "Tortoise Of The Ridge".

I'm confident that Florida will defray your relocation costs and waive all impact fees.  :D

Beautiful cars.  I was fortunate enough to drive one of the earlier cars produced in 2005.  I remember back when you could buy a nice one for ~$100,000.  Those days are long gone.  I'm sure the new ones are amazing, I just don't agree with the manner in which Ford released them.  You had to 'apply' for a car, and hope you were picked.  I suppose they have their reasons, but I know of some individuals that have a couple Ford GT's that weren't picked.  I can see it as a $250,000 car, not sure if it's a $500,000 car...

Wow, that must have been quite a thrill to drive, I was very excited just to see one.

 

Hopefully they'll build more of the new models. It always bothered me how the 05&06s nearly all got into the hands of collectors and never saw the track, or any driving at all in many cases.
