This story on Why You Should Always Carry A Cameraphone is almost too good to be true, and I am not sure I believe it. Joyce Hackett captured an alligator crawling out of the New York City sewers with her camera phone.

Last week I was in Florida, where it is much easier to find alligators. Hopefully, you won’t encounter this fellow up close. However, the advice remains the same. Be prepared and bring your camera – you never know when you might encounter an alligator.

Apparently alligators are also in Chicago. The city has captured two this year. I grew up in Rockford, IL and never knew. See http://m.startribune.com/topic/3976-Off%20the%20Wall%20/articles/200312855
