"Okay, be careful with those earbuds and don't lose your situational awareness at the bus stop. Predators, whether the 4-legged or 2-legged kinds, look for the weakest and least attentive in the pack."
The advantage of travelling in a small backwoods city full of mostly ancient people left over after all the young and possibly dangerous people fled the small backwoods city full of mostly ancient people for better hunting grounds, is that getting preyed upon is unlikely except for some desperate octogenarian with an intact libido. And if some, as yet uneducated micro-thugster, were to try to emulate his favorite hero, the everpresent gaggle of chatty old ladies would beat him with their purses and celery stalks and spout lava-like streams of guilt at him in Swedish or Italian threatening to tell his momma. Now, four legged predators is another issue. We do have bears that sometimes wander past my house on the edge of the woods, but they are mostly well behaved and rarely make trips to the city.
@SubtropicPixel...
I used to have a couple of anoles as pets... they are cute and weirdly curious.
When I was in high school, I worked at a pet store and had a friend who was a Yellow Rat snake. Most snakes in pet stores tend to reject attention or being handled, but this guy loved being picked up and having his little noggin stroked... whenever I'd open his tank (fish tank type enclosure, only the hamsters drove real tanks), he'd immediately slither up my forearm and lightly coil himself around like a heavy bracer... he was pretty big and would go from my wrist to past my elbow (technically that's small, since they usually reach 5-8 feet)... I don't know if snakes can actually recognize people, but he did seem to prefer only certain people who worked there and would come to the glass seeking attention when we were present. I was the only one who would allow him to "hang out" with them though... often he'd coil around my arm with his head tucked next to my palm as I went around doing stuff... customers thought it was cool and often would want to pet him which he seemed to enjoy... he had no problem with me moving my arms around while I did things and often I'd forget he was there...
Anyway, there was this attractive young lady who would visit the store often... I don't know what her deal was, she never bought anything and I think she kinda just liked looking at the animals... though we didn't have many normal pets... lots of fish, lizards, snakes, giant insects and angry birds... she seemed to gravitate towards the bugs and lizards...
One day she comes in when I happened to be wearing/carrying Ratty (yes, that's an unoriginal name for a rat snake) I have no idea what she asked me but as I was talking to her she noticed Ratty, so I lifted up my arm and immediately he popped up his little head to watch her... so she asked if she could pet him and since he was the tamest most affectionate snake I'd ever met, I said "sure"... so what does Ratty do? He slithers over to her hand and goes straight for her cleavage and dives in before she or I could stop him... I was mortified and embarrassed... she thought it was hilarious and was giggling and laughing... she'd pull him out a little and he'd go right back through her sleeve or out the back of her collar... the problem was he'd intertwine with her shirt or bra so you couldn't just drag him out without him dragging everything else along. I managed to get ahold of his head (when he came out her under her sleeve) and had the brilliant idea to stuff him up my sleeve, which worked, he fled up into my shirt instead, which was fine with me...
Thank god she was entertained by that, I can't imagine if that had gone any other way, what might have happened. I was probably so red in the face I was glowing... of course two of my coworkers heard the commotion and came back there to see her giggling and tucking her shirt in and me all frazzled... I never lived that down over there. After one other comical incident where a customer total freaked out after noticing Ratty on my arm, Ratty lost most of his traveling privileges.
Not exactly the same as a lizard in the pants, but slightly amusing none the less.
As long as we're talking about little lizards. How about a hundred milion year old dinosaur bird a half inch long trapped in a glob of amber!

Oh, and having lived in Florida for a total of a few decades, starting in the '50s, I remember the little green smooth skinned anoles. The prevalant species in the '50s and '60s but later pushed out by an invasive species of larger bumpier brown ones. The little green ones (greenies) would change color from green to brown depending on their environment. Last time I lived in Florida was the early '00s and I did see a couple of greenies
having long given up on ever seeing them in the wild again.
Hmmm... between that and the possible dino DNA being found... https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/skepticism-new-research-finds-signs-dna-dinosaur-fossil-180974353/ is anyone else thinking what I'm thinking?
Come on, I know how it's going to end, we all know, but who wouldn't want to visit Jurassic park?... We all know in the end the dinosaurs take over, but those first few days are going to be so much fun... and since we all know it's going to go to hell, we have time to plan an escape.
I can't wait!... And if anyone is thinking "Even if they could make dinosaurs or a Jurassic Park, nobody would be that stupid, crazy and irresponsible".... I say... "Really?"... "Really-Really?"... Have you read the news lately... we are all living in an 80s B-movie now... Why shouldn't Jurassic Park be part of it?
I'm sure right now someone is trying to copyright a brilliant riff on InGen and figuring out which of the most ferocious and dangerous dinosaurs to feature and how cheap a flimsy a containment system they could get away with.
Still... I'm down for that... especially if it opens in Orlando.
Imagine being nibbled to death by a swarm of bee sized dinosaurs.
Ooh, ooh, good plot for a new SyFy channel crappy movie.
They start with the eyelids and nostrils then eat you up from the inside-out.
I am thinking of getting my american girl doll repaired. I have only one left and her arm is no longer attached. I want to get into making crafts for her but I think I need to get the arm reattached. I asked mum if she is willing to help and she wants me to do more research first.

That's like one of those things you see on a background screen at the beginning of Zombie apocalypse movie.
Non-complaint: Yay! My hot water is back.
Showers and dish washing are again in the schedule. However, apparently this is only a temporary fix. Gas valve was boogered and has been replaced with a used unit until a more permanent solution is obtained. Probably coming from China on a quarantined boat.
'Nother non-complaint: Still playing with my new smart phone. Wheee... all sorts of nearly modern features like I'm able to get live FM radio, and Streamed TV. My previous phone tried the TV streaming thing but just couldn't quite get up to speed.
My thoughts too.
I thought I posted here that my aquarium is too loud and needs water added to it.

Non-complaint: Music to DAZ by. Working in the kitchen this morning I put on my headphones and found a YouTube to listen to. One of my oldest and favoritest. I've heard it a few times in concert but you need a venue with a good pipe organ. I'm talking, of course, about the Saint-Saëns 3rd Symphony (The Great Organ Symphony). Not really a lot of major organ parts , but lots of beautiful orchestra horns, strings, woodwind. Lively in places, soothing in places, grand in places, and absolutely triumphant at the end. Incredible bass in parts where the organ comes in and bullys the show (middle of the 1st movement (starting 24 second buildup at 11:45 , and then much of the 3rd movement starting at 30:30.) Recording are best heard with good enclosing headphones or good speakers. It's bass you're after. But only really appreciated in person, live.

Oh my it is time to go clock in for work I think. Or at least in one minute so I need to get off the computer and get ready for work.
It is the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine. (not really but just trying to be fine.)

Columbus.
Well, not on all three at once
But the neighborhood still has squirrels...?
Its a perfectly legitimate use for them too... Catch, use, release... after it rains they are good for another round. Their soft fur is absorbent and durable... You'll probably never go back to paper products again.
Nature is wonderful.
can't see howmany fingers squirrel haz.
And i thought ferrets were supposed to be the theives
i tried to do a search for restaruants in Washington, D.C. but Google returned results from Seattle, Washington State. Fix your algorithm Google!

Useless information that I know ..Squirrels have 4 toes on their front feet and 5 toes on their back feet . and now you know .
sga they using c4. would think theyd be up to d4 in future
Complaint: A few days ago the DAZ "Freebies" was full of things that I had an impulse to get. Great joy! Happy, happy! Something to get and for free too.
So, I put the half-dozen items in my cart and and ordered them. I manually download everything (I never use the aptly named "DIM" process, prefering to trust that I have my own personal downloads safely squirreled away and deftly unzipped to where I actually want them placed), so I was confused to discover that none of the items that I had ordered showed up at the top of my "MyAccount-->ProductLibrary" list.
Apparently I already own everything in the order.
Well, bust my balloons!
