 Buying things on e-Bay
 can be tricky, because most
 people never know where
 the final bid will end up.
 Last-second bids can un-
 dermine efforts to get the
 prized item.
 That wasn't exactly the
 case for representatives of
 Sarasota County who decid-
 ed to place online bids for a
 group of panoramic photos
 of the area taken in 1927 and
 1928.
 County Commissioner
Jon Thaxton, County Admin-
Sistrator- Jim 'hLey and- many


others got involved in a mini-
fundraising campaign Friday
to compete to get the photos
for the Sarasota County His-
tory Center.
 By Sunday night, it be-
 came apparent the bidding
 would exceed anything the
 county could afford.
 The winning bid was
 $7,100 for the 156 photos,
 and it came from someone
 with the screen name hibis-
 cussuites.
 The photos measure 3 3/4
 inches by 12 1/2 inches, and
 were all taken between 1927
 and 1928. According to the
 e-Bay description, they in-
clude street scenes, rural

ings under construction,
pictures of the John Ringling
Estate and many more.
 The online seller said the
photos came out of an estate
sale from an antique dealer
who had them in storage for
30 years.
 He reported that 63 of
the photos had descriptive
information on the back,
such as the name of the
street or intersection or the
name of the building shown.
Almost all have the photog-
rapher's name, Ed Dalton, in
the print. Of the whole lot,

 The History |Center al-
ready has several Ed Dalton
photos in its collection.
 When the county became
involved in the online auc-
tion Friday, no one had bid
on the photos. There was a
minimum bid of $156. The
final selling price .averaged
about $45 per photo.
 In a series of e-mails be-
tween county officials, it
was realized that the "last-
minute effort was an affirm-
ation .of that commitment
and a bond that will better
prepare us for next time,"
Thaxton wrote.

 Alligators have a brain the
size of your thumb, so when
they attack a human, we say,
"S6rry, Charlie," and shoot
them.
 Fair enough. They're stu-
pid reptiles that eat poodles
and footballs.
 But what on earth got into
a deer in Illinois recently?
 A normally shy doe there
attacked three people, inflict-
ing injuries. The ticked-off
doe's rampage brought "Cau-
tion: Deer Attacks" signs to
the area.
 What triggered this behav-
ior? Global warming? Deer
flu? Too much violence on TV?
 Who knows, but when
Bambi goes bonkers we bet-
ter- find out why. Vicious
