Hey, I'm no hero, and I'm not ready to be part of the food chain yet.
Nevertheless, this is a rough bunch. I asked Chip once if he worried about
avoiding gators. "Not really," he replied, "I don't have to be able to
outrun the gators...I just have to outrun Dustin!" The waders are just
garnish. Besides, Dude, I can get hypothermia just stepping out of the
shower. (-;
