Hm, could this be comms of some kind?
Definitely NOT comms... this oversized iguana wandered into a local road and had to be relocated. The Onslow County (NC) Sheriff's Dept responded and the critter was relocated. The OCSD has a sense of humor and posted on Facebook about the gator being "detained for being a dinosaur without proper papers."
Sometimes things are just what they seem to be.
I'm not on board with the whole "everything is comms" stuff, but I do think it is unusual that NYT writes a story about an average sized alligator, doing what alligators do, and getting relocated as happens quite routinely, and named it Pepe. What could possibly make that worthy of a NYT article? And yea NYT is a rag and they will do anything to get clicks but this just seems off. Quite possibly it is just exactly what it is and nothing more. Just seems weird to me.
No, it's comms, definitely comms.
10-ft long gator, 400 pounds = 10-4 good buddy?
"The term "10-4" is a code used primarily by emergency personnel, such as police officers, to indicate acknowledgment or understanding of a message."
I doubt it. I live in the area. It's "gator country" around the rivers and beaches here. I think the sheriff was just having fun with the deportation theme, which just shows how much things have changed since January.
It does make a person wonder.
