Welcome to Brad's online memory archives.

An New Old Friend

I saw a gecko in my house! Finally! I like geckos. They look really friendly and cute, and they eat bugs. They do poop on stuff, so that’s a negative, but other than that, they’re all positive for me. The one I saw was on the sliding door to my lanai.

My apartment is freakishly hot when I come home, so I have to open the windows to let the heat out. Sometimes the wind is blowing hard enough to cool it down. Sometimes the heat kind of slowly leaks out.

Anyway, I had opened the lanai door when I first got home, and later when I walked past, I saw the gecko. It wasn’t in full-blown speckly gold and green color, but I think it was a Gold Dust Gecko. Cool!

I need to get a TV cabinet so I can hide my printer.

    Er. Er. How…. nice…. that you are ok with lizard-y creatures invading your home. I guess if I thought of them as baby dragons it would be less frightening.

    I agree with Lauren. Except the dragon part.

    Cool! I found a tree frog on my bathroom vanity last week. I put him back outside on one of my potted plants. We tend to leave our screen door cracked when we are home so the kitty can come and go as she pleases. I expect your lanai will be covered with exotic plants in the not too distant future.

    Did he give you any great quotes on insurance?

      Ha! Wrong kind of gecko. I looked it up. The Geico gecko is a giant day gecko.

    Who would even think to see if the animated mascot of an insurance company was a genuine species? “Amazing you are.” –Yoda

    We used to have those kinds of geckos (or something really similar) in North Carolina. They were kind of cute…especially when slow two year olds were chasing them. Scurry scurry!!

    Awesome! I have seen several lizards on our decks this year….one doesn’t have a tail, Deckster probably knows about that….I like them too. Lizards and frogs: good. Snakes and spiders: bad. HHmmm
