Fed up with the carpetbagging sons of bitches, Inman Parkers took pre-migration precautions this year by launching a floating, plastic alligator head — which they're calling their "Gator Aid" — into the pond in Springvale Park on Sunday. It's like a scarecrow. But buoyant and with terrifying glowing eyes.
Like a scarecrow, though, it also doesn't work.
A resident broke it to neighbors on the Inman Park listserv this morning that she's already spotted two Canada geese in the pond:
I was right about when the Canada Geese return on their way north........this am they flew over the pond and two are now in the pond and Gator Aid HAS NOT scared them off. The War Birds don't give a sh...t. We have to think of something fast!!!! What's with Gator Aid anyhow???
Thomas Wheatley and I had a good natured laugh about the the Gator Aid's failure this morning (we certainly don't wish Lucy any malice). A fun hypothetical Thomas came up with: "Watch it attract dragons. Or carnivorous condors that know how to pick locks."

Canada Goose Stew:
Note from Tammy: "This turns out very tender and very close to beef stew that even non-goose eaters won't know the difference."
