Ok, this is a trick. I'm not blogging about Creedence Clearwater Revival. But now that I have your attention, I need to warn you about the other CCR-- Caiman Consumption Rate .

Math has never really been my best subject. During my school years in math class I was usually looking out the window or sitting in the back row drawing cartoons. Taking that into account, if I have a correct reading of the caiman literature , it would take about 750 adult caimans only a year to consume the entire population of Olympia. And I'm pretty sure there are a lot more than 750 of those critters roaming around here.

Now that they removed that protective fence from the shores of the Fetid Lake of Doom , coupled with the hot weather, the risk factor has gone up. I'm just offering this as an OlyBlog public service announcement.
