TIME OUT
This is a story of self-control and marksmanship by a brave, cool-headed woman with a small caliber pistol pitted against a fierce predator. Here is that same brave, brave woman’s story in her own words: "While out walking along the edge of a pond just outside my house in The Villages with my soon to be ex-husband discussing property settlement and other divorce issues, we were surprised by a huge 12-ft. alligator which suddenly emerged from the murky water and began charging us with its large jaws wide open. She must have been protecting her nest because she was extremely aggressive. If I had not had my little .25 caliber pistol with me, I would not be here today! Just one shot to my estranged husband's knee cap was all it took. Brings a tear to your eye doesn’t it?Soup & Sandwich Special is $11.95. All hot specials are $15.95, except where noted, and include a serving of soup du jour, house, or Caesar salad.
