August 31, 1967: Still more nothing

Diary entry for August 31, 1967:


Nothing unusual today.

This is the third day in a row with the exact same diary entry, but that gives us another chance to jump in the Wayback Time Machine and catch up on some photos that were previously missed. Today we'll go back to my post from August 12, 1967, which was our first visit to the Alligator Farm.

Remember my description of feeding time and the fact that smaller alligators would often get chomped by larger ones? Mom's caption of the picture below is "Feeding time at the Alligator Farm. Things like this happen daily."




Remember: Per the flyer from the Alligator Farm, alligators are cannibals.

You may also recall the first trip to the Alligator Farm resulted in the first bank of the bank collection being purchased. Here's a picture of that alligator bank, biting a quarter for scale. You might be able to see that the sticker attached to the tail says "California Alligator Farm." I especially like the green jewels for eyes and the jagged teeth in the wide open mouth.




Maybe tomorrow's diary entry will have something exciting for a change.
