I think it was because of the storied I heard about water skiing accidents when I lived in Alabama. And then Chris sent me a whole bunch of pictures of the oil rigs after Katrina. They were covered in water displaced water moccasins. Yuck!!<BR/><BR/>Poor Bear-I don't want to think about him getting eaten by an alligator.
