ZOOM ZOOM!! I just recently saw a guy running an RC truck just down the street from me. Really cool. It was FAST too. Sounded like a small chainsaw on wheels. I had a small RC boat once. Nothing fancy, just a $20 Walmart toy. And true to form, when it quit working, well, there was no fixing it. But we'd gotten our $20 worth of fun from it though. Mostly we'd run it in our pool but it got a little boring just going around in circles. I once brought it fishing, just to mess around with it if the fish weren't biting. They weren't, so I put the little boat in the water to cruise around on the bayou. I hadn't thought about it at the time, but we sure were lucky it didn't get CHOMPED by an alligator. Because where we were, south of Avery Island in the marsh, it's absolutely FULL of them out there. Some real BIG ones too. But it was mid afternoon, and the gators were probably either catching some rays or catching some Z's somewhere out of sight. Was probably quite a few of them hiding under the bushes and marsh grass at the edge of the water, but none of them showed themselves out in the open. I figure if it would have been around sunset or just after dark, that little boat would have been a light, crunchy little plastic snack for one of them. It was about the same size as a nutria.
