I am guessing bobcat but you never can tell. We had a "panther" (same
cat) living right up the street from me for 4 or 5 years and the state
kept denying it until a cop hit it with his car.
The guy who owned the scrub at the time said he saw it several times
while he was tending his bees. I had a picture of a track



We had a cute groundhog in our front yard yesterday afternoon, chomping
away on what is left of my wife's annuals.

Bobcats and panthers are the same animal? I thought panthers were
significantly bigger. The one we saw on Sanibel last year was the
size of a very large dog but had a much longer tail and a cat like
face.

They are actually holes in the dam that allows
sheet flow through the Everglades. They are now talking about doing
exactly the same thing to US41 but without the panther excuse.

That would be a good plan. Right now there is a huge amount of
standing water east of 41 and very little on the west side. The
existing culverts are totally overwhelmed. Of course if you let too
much get through, Burnt Store Road gets flooded.

I have some kind of burrowing mammals in my yard too. I still haven't
seen one but the yard is spongy from all the burrows.
They don't bother me and I don't bother them.
I don't even care about the gopher tortoises and they dig huge holes.
I can usually cajole them into moving to a spot that is out of the
way.

Sounds like free aerating to me!!

No doubt that I-75 is a big part of it but there is also a great deal
of flooding between 75 and 41 as you head up into Charlotte County.

If you go east of 75 you will be knee deep in water. That is the
complaint. They say DOT did not consider the amount of sheet flow they
were disrupting with I-75

The trouble is, is that when they do hydraulic studies, they don't use
the highest water elevation, they use a mean elevation.

It took me about an hour of research to know I was going to live west
of 41 when I started looking for a house. I also wanted to be away
from the beach, not on the Cape and near a salt water access river.
once I put all off my requirements together, you could cover the
places I looked with your thumb on the map.

My requirement was for a deep water canal protected from both the Gulf
and the open river, but not behind a low bridge or a lock.
