Goals

This will be a short post and wont be routed through Lisa for approval.

Goals, we all set them for ourselves, our family and our children. This Post is about a new goal I am setting for the boy. We already have the usual goals for him, do well in school, go to college, play sports, marry a beautiful woman, but I have a new unique goal for him. I can't help him with this goal, but his Pappy can . . .

I want BC to kill a 12 foot alligator by the time he is 5.

From KTRK ABC13: LIVINGSTON, TX (KTRK) -- The catch of the day was just up the Eastex Freeway in Livingston.

Five-year-old Simon Hughes is a real-life gator slayer. Simon didn't even flinch when he and his dad came across a huge alligator. The pipsqueak hunter from Polk County grabbed his gun and shot and killed the 12-foot long monster.

This gator was just five inches shorter than the Texas record, and that's got Simon determined to do it again.

"I wasn't even afraid," said Simon. "Next year I'm going to kill me a bigger alligator."

Simon weighs about 40 pounds, without the gun. The alligator weighs 800. That's 20 times his size.
