Saw the oddest thing this morning. I'm wheeling my trash and recycle bins back from the curb up my driveway and I spot a tiny movement a few inches away. It's a small rust colored lizard, no more than an inch and a half long. He's got a wide sort of flattened body and a stubby tapered tail with these grey and black bands running down it's length. It looks for all the world like a tiny Gila Monster but I Googled it later and baby Gilas are six inches long when born.
I didn't want to capture it because it looked frightened so I ran in the house to get my phone to take a picture of it but by the time I got back it was gone. It wasn't speckled like grown Gilas. And it sure wasn't a baby frog like I've seen more than once come out of the ground after a rain. And according to Google this is too far East for it to be an actual Gila. I wish I knew what that was.

I work nights now. It is bizarre. It's like time travel every single day. Start the day in one day and end the day in the next. Its disorientating...
