I've lived in Arizona with its rattlers & other desert biters.
Didn't cross paths with many on a daily basis. After I discovered
there was a rattler nest close to our mailbox, I gave it a wide berth while waiting for the school bus.
I remember mom being in charge of retrieving/sending the mail for awhile.
It was an awkward reach from inside the old Volvo.
I've never lived in Florida. I wonder how often seeing gators happens?
