It was 11:59 PM on the last day of 2005. I still had not found an appropriate caiman to perform the ritual of shouting and pitchforking on. Had I failed in my duty? No, I was not about to concede.

Word from my fellow team members filtered in. Reports of caiman activity up on the west side led me to retrace my steps til I was back home (and out of chalk). There, what I saw on my door step haunts me to this day (which is today, the next day).

One fish. A rotting, partially gnawed on, fish. Tossed as an obvious calling card on my welcome mat. Yes, the foul caimans have my number now. They have me pegged, they know what I'm up to. And they aren't afraid to let me know that they know.

I swore on that offensive fish that I will never relent. I will succeed in my quest to shout recriminations at a craven caiman and then jab it with a pitchfork until it leaves town. As a member in good standing of C.A.R.T. I can do no less.
