Really Escape?

What works for you-a push button awning? I bet the free storage box I suggested works too, eh? They don't do that anymore, FYI.

The free one is on my 2022 build sheet, the unit is in production now, "No charge, returning customer"

Great- now it seems ETI discriminates; otherwise why do some returning customers get a free storage box and others do not?

My order, albeit for 2022 was initiated in May2021, a full year before completion.

My friends son-in-law was at the front and went around a bend out of site and was never seen again. They had dive teams called in, no luck. Finally ended up dragging the lake and all they found was his foot still in his boot. Be careful out there.

Really? What year was that? From the Florida Times-Union....

Outforia reports that, "The likelihood of a Florida resident being seriously injured during an unprovoked alligator incident in Florida is roughly only one in 3.1 million."

Statistics can be decieving, as the main factors are location, location, location. The majority of the FL population live in the sprawling cities and suburbs, many miles from water that houses any sigficant numbers of wildlife. Others, like those of us who live on the nature coast, live in very rural wetlands areas. Our next door neighbor is the Flying Eagle Perserve. This is a huge preserve with large numbers of pigs, coyotes, bobcats, bear, and we even have seen a FL panther. There are more snakes and gators than people. When out on the lake at night and pointing a light at the shoreline, all you see are "eyes". A 8 ft gator took an adult deer on the shoreline behind our home a couple of months ago. We went out seeing the incident, hearing the ruckus in the water and the deer screaming. Poor thing didn't stand a chance and that deer was a lot faster & stronger than a human.
Those kinds of statistics don't work in this location. It's not a great idea for a person to get in the water or not be cautious on these shorelines. This is not to say gators are chasing us down the street. Gators mostly fear humans, as they are hunted and on the menu at many restaurants, locally. However, Gators can be opportunistic & will grab an easy meal or protect a nest & young.

I wonder what you think is "deceiving" about the statistics I provided? If as you claim a victim of an alligator attack was only left with a shoe, can you source the
documentation for that horrific attack? Here is another list of all attacks for the last 6 decades. Is your connection on this list?

[Rossue]

No politics here please.

[Donna D.]

Yep, NO politics. I've edited a couple of posts.


Seriously, can't everyone just stay on topic. PLEASE.

I did not make any claims about a shoe or any human victim.
My point is statistics might make someone feel safe to get in the water but knowing what wild life in the water at a location is more reliable. No one gets into the water around our location.

I appreciate the fact that you have taken on the important job of guarding the Escape Forum portal from the introduction of political comments. Mine, I would argue was more in the way of an example of how alternative facts can create a secondary reality.

I'm wondering if I had quoted Mark Twain instead of former Counselor to the President Madam Conway I would have been censored. Twain wrote, in referencing not only the propensity for humans to be duped by unfounded rumors, etc. but the contemporary political situation (in his time) : "It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled."
