Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:" "She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."

Your float could be what a lawyer would say caused the child to go into the water. But a child that gets out is better than one that drowns. 61 acre water shed lake. bass, channel cat, black crappie, wiper, walleye, redear sunfish, blue catfish and bluegill.

Maybe instead of ducks and normal looking floats, we should put those floating alligator heads replicas out there. Serve as deterence and a float...
