Seems we have a mascot for the company on our new site.
As I have mentioned we recently purchased 171 acres on Copano Bay near Portland, Texas.
We have begun clearing the site in preparation to start the initial dirt work and begin construction on the first eight ponds that will be housed under roof in our bio-secure aquaculture facility.
The location is absolutely stunning as we are basically on a peninsula that juts out into Copano Bay so we are looking at water on three sides of the site. In addition the land is bordered by several pristine wetland areas one of which is clearly inhabited by this seven foot long American alligator.
Our construction chief, Keith snapped this shot of the gator this past Tuesday.
I decided that our new neighbor needed a name. After much discussion and the inevitable sarcastic suggestions, call it "Shoes", or "Luggage" and of course Lori's suggestion "Hermes" and Aquilino's initial entry "Barbecue" I decided to go with Aquilino's second suggestion " Scales".
So, since we do not know if it is a male or female the gender neutral name of "Scales" seems to be the best fit.
Let's hope we can peacefully co-exist with Scales and more to the point let's hope Scales does not develop a taste of shrimp.
There is at least one positive aspect to having a seven foot American alligator residing contiguous to our site. It is highly unlikely we will get any night time trespassers coming from Scales' side of the property.
