On any given day…..you just never know what kind of surprises, or occurrences that might take place. It could be little things, or something great big. Life. Most days, we just hope it’s all good.
Today when I was making my pot of grits, I spilled the carton of milk all the heck over the place. I did not cry. It was a little thing.
Later, something a bit more extraordinary….. I was cleaning off the back porch and patio, with one of my favorite tools. It is the powerful and almighty Stihl Leafblower…. I assure you, it is not just for leaves. I use it for numerous tasks about the home and garden.
Anyway, there was a little lizard on one of our patio chairs, and I was pointing the prodigious and brawny blower in that general direction. I thought little lizard boy would just run off. But no. He did not leap, he did not jump. NO! Instead…that little lizard flew. Flew like the wind….. Like Superman. Super Lizard I began to call him affectionately, albeit briefly. It was quite remarkable how that Stihl Blower propelled that little fellow through the air with such force…. his little cape flapping in the breeze, and his mask in place on his teeny nose.
Now before the PETA people start knocking on my door, the diminutive reptile was fine. He just did a Super Hero drop and roll upon impact with the cement…. Then, he hopped up, brushed off, adjusted his little cape and mask, and went on his lizard way. Wonder Lizard.
Now what may have been a fleeting and passing moment in my day, was surely a more significant event in the life of Super Lizard. Yes. It is all a part of life. It just depends which part you are flying through.
I’m off to write the theme song for the new Super Hero series. Thanks for the memories…. Super L.

Ok, what all do you put in your orange juice?
LOL wait a minute where did that goofy avitar come from?
LOL…. Jeff, there is only orange juice in my orange juice.
It was pretty neat to see that lizard take flight though…. who knew they were so aerodynamic!
I added the avatars in the prefs on the site….
i loved sunning on the rocks with the lizards when i lived in big sur. descendants of prehistoria. sometimes one would walk up right beside me look up at me with one eye and start doing push-ups. lizards are cool. lizard push-ups are cool.
That is how they stay in shape for the Super-Hero gig. They do crunches too. Little Lizard Ab Six-Packs…. Buff.
