You're right. Probably you would see one. But a lot of people just go to work and go home and go to work and go home. It is possible not to see one in person for a long time, but admittedly maybe not 10 years. Seeing it on the news is a different thing. I meant in person. I've seen them many times but, for instance, the last time I saw one, I was playing putt putt golf and they had some babies in a little pond out front that you could feed (436 in Orlando actually). So not, you know, in your house, or under your car. I've lived here virtually all of my life and never once had one surprise me in my swimming pool, in the yard or anything like that. That's what I was actually referring to. Should have been more specific.
