Biking with Alligators in Texas
By Diana Lambdin Meyer      www.roamright.com
The people of Beaumont, Texas, affectionately known as “beaumartians”, live close enough to the Louisiana state line to have plenty of Cajun blood in them, just enough to be a little crazy around the edges.
That’s why in Beaumont one of the most popular things to do these days is to go biking with alligators. And the place to do it is in the city’s waste water treatment facility.

The need in Texas for donations is great.
One out of every 20 Texans will need blood at some point in their lives. Each year 20 million blood components are transfused. There are more than 750 patients in Texas searching the registry for a matched donor.
Each day, an average of 18 people die while waiting for an organ. More than 120,000 men, women and children are…
