This is a new record of my thoughts. I want to try to add posts regularly to help me keep track of my life. I also want to use this like a journal, to help me remember some of the lessons that I've learned in life.

Gator on Guam
A day or two ago I was driving on Gayinero Rd. in Yigo. I noticed on the guard-rail on the side what looked like an unusual animal skull. It had an elongated, oval-shaped snout, with sharp teeth jutting out. It almost looked like a platypus. Upon further inspection I found that it was an actual baby alligator skull. It seemed somewhat mummified, with skin and flesh. The lower jaw was still connected to the upper by the tendons. I was curious as to how it ended up on Guam. I put it in the back of my truck using a Docomo cellphone rate flyer. As I wrapped the sheet around the skull the teeth punctured holes into it. It brought to mind how menacing and powerful a live, full-sized alligator bite might be. I later took pictures and posted them on Facebook, hoping that I might find an answer to the mystery of how it got on Guam.
