hmm...... now you may just wonder about that word. Kellie and I did- for a moment at least.
Alligatoe. She was originally writting alligatoR and missed the "r" and went for the "e". I liked it immediately. What a charming little mistake. Alligatoe. She thought it sounded like a kid with a speech impediment. Me- I first thought of Allegra for the feet. But, on further reflection-- it could be a lot of things.
Alligatoe.
What if it meant.... a type of reptile with prominent scaley toes.?. turns out. It does.
Alligator is a genus of the Allijator idae family of crocodile -like reptiles. It includes two known species:
American Alligatoe ( Alligatir mississippiensis )
Chinese Alligqtor ( Alligstor sinensis )
Oh, well. What started out as a funny mistyped word- turns out it's for real. Now, had we had this discussion pre-internet age- I'd have never known that. But- who NEEDS or READS all this useless information anyway? Well. I guess that would be me.
Which brings to mind a clever little site that Pop ran across today. The name alone is intriguing.

Sydnas Sloot? Sheesh. What a monikor. Wouldn't you HATE having to through life with than name? haha. The joke's on us! Mom figured it out first-- flip it. Hysterical. But- if you're "into" old tools or knowing what Harvard trombonists do with all their free time-- check it out.
Well- enough for now- It's really chilly out- I'm thinking breakfast for supper oughta warm up a cold kitchen.
