Alligator invades Fla. home
An Oldsmar, Fla., woman said an 8-foot alligator ripped
through her screened porch and wandered into her home.
Sandra Frosti, 69, said she went to investigate a strange
noise in her home and found the reptile on her kitchen
floor, the Tampa (Fla.) Tribune reported Tuesday. Frosti
called 911 and authorities said the alligator was mildly
injured during the ensuing scuffle with a trapper.
Pinellas County sheriff's deputies said the gator tore
through the screen porch, entered through an open sliding
door and wandered through the house and into the kitchen
before it was spotted by Frosti. Neighbors said alligators
are a common sight in the area. They said the reptiles are
drawn in by retention ponds in the neighborhood. "I've
seen them sunning themselves between the pond and the
street," said neighbor Emilio Riera.

Cool cat coaxed from air conditioning duct
A Miami man said firefighters spent about an hour extracting
a kitten from the air-conditioning ducts of his home.
Marques Bailey said he initially reported a kitten crying
loudly in the ducts Saturday, but Broward Sheriff Fire
Rescue's suggestion that he attempt to lure the cat out
into the open with a saucer of milk failed to yield results,
The Miami Herald reported Tuesday. Bailey said he made a
second call Monday, and this time three firefighters
arrived to rescue the troubled feline. He said the
firefighters made several attempts to coax the kitten from
its hiding space, including poking at it with a metal rod
and calling it audibly, before finally luring the yellow
tabby out with a can of tuna. Bailey said he plans to
keep the kitten, which emerged from the ducts without any
identification. "This cat cost me a lot of money in
property damage," he said. "I'm going to name it Trouble."

Mail carrier catches falling baby
An Albany, N.Y., postal carrier says a baby fell right into
her arms from an open window while she was delivering a
package. Lisa Harrell said she normally does not deliver
to the neighborhood until about 2 p.m., but she was in the
area before noon Monday to deliver an Express Mail package,
the Albany (N.Y.) Times-Union reported Tuesday. She said
that no sooner had she pushed a doorbell at an apartment
building than she felt something hit her shoulder and
instinctively shot her arms out to catch it. She said she
was shocked to find a baby that had apparently fallen from
a second-story window. "I noticed the upstairs window open
halfway," she said. "The baby fell right into my arms.
Everything happened so quick." Paramedics from the Albany
Fire Department said the child appeared to be unharmed.
Harrell said Brenda Morales, the child's mother, ran
outside and thanked her before taking the baby and running
up the street to her mother's home.

care for marijuana?
"Keep the world greener. Legalize it."
"I don't think growing pot should be taught. That is crazy!"
