Show Description

Shep reads a clipping about 4 Manatee being released in Mexico to help clear the waterways. He tells of his own personal relationship with a Manatee in the Florida waterway. He was fishing one day when he saw this big Manatee swimming around. It saw him and appeared interested. Shep threw him an apple and made a friend. Each time he went fishing here the Manatee would come by and Shep would give him an apple. Shep later found out they love cabbage and fed heads of cabbage to it.

"Can you imagine 4,000 years passing, and you're not even a memory?
Think about it, friends. It's not just a possibility. It is a certainty." - Jean Shepherd - 1975
