When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
We have packs of coyotes less than 100 metres outside our bedroom window every night. I hear them traversing west to east, and then a few hours later, east to west.I already live with the mosquitos and we've had more hurricanes here in the past few years than in Florida.
As for the gators, I live with deer, snakes, fox, groundhogs...gators are just one more thing.
In the summer/fall, we also have mosquitos, and nasty black flies; which actually take a chunk out of your flesh when they bite.
On the plus side, we don't have hurricanes, and seldom have earthquakes or tornadoes.
