Yeah, getting used to it in that I don't stay in my house all the time because I might see an alligator, but not throwing caution aside. I hear that these guys are usually very non-aggressive unless they've been fed my tourists, which is unlikely to happen here. Still, it's good to be careful and appropriately armed when you might run into one.
Anyway, don't you guys have some pretty fearsome critters up North?
Like I'm ever going to come visit you now! *snort* ;)
Well, we have had moose and cougars in town, although I haven't actually seen them. We have a coyote travel up our street occasionally.
Honestly, there is a large, rather wild park in my neighborhood that I will not walk in without my dog. I figure, if worse came to worse, she would satisfy a hungry cougar while the kids and I got away. (Yuk!)
The opposite of consumption is production. It takes far more time and energy to create something than to consume something. It takes a novelist a year to write a book that someone can read in a few days. A cast and crew of thousands spend years to create a film that will be viewed in two hours. Often our only recreational activities are actions of consumption. What an alternative it is, then, to rediscover the wonder and delight of creativity.~Albert Hsu
"The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." ~Jesus in John 10:10

WOW!!!
That is scary! But maybe you don't want to get used to it (as in, you do want to continue being vigilant).

WHOOPS! I meant fed *by* tourists, not fed *my* tourists. Terrible mistake there! :)
