The Great California Gator Farm

DISCLAIMER: These images are from old postcards, and should be viewed with caution. While the original photographer was attempting to capture an image, through their medium they inadvertently captured unintended information. This should be kept in mind when looking at these pictures.
What I'm saying is that although the artist was likely just trying to capture a pretty scene, they created a graphic time capsule which trapped the limitations, fears, irrational prejudices and mind-bending stagnation of the soul which was in effect at the time. So I'll keep my commentary to a minimum. Just think of these as being pretty pictures.

Ted Puffer Commentary: WHAT!?!?!? California has gators?! Why didn't anyone tell me! When I moved here I knew it had smoke, smog, crime, deserts, heat, distopian malaise etc. But no one mentioned anything about Gators! Heck, I'd have moved here years ago if I'd known!
