All the posts I've written lately haven't published.

My worlplace has always been a haven for lizards, but this year there have been incredible numbers of them. We did have one young #@* slam his foot on one when he was trying to impress a girl, and I let him know the little lizard wouldn't hurt him and killing it wasn't necessary. For the most part the lizards live in harmony there.
Also seen outside my workplace was a Praying Mantis. It was the largest Praying Mantis I have ever seen. It turned it's head and that look was just amazing. I seem to remember this bit of urban folklore as a kid. That it was illegal to kill a Praying Mantis, or mabe that was a grasshopper.
Last week a friend's friend bought both her and me groceries. That was really nice of him. Too bad it wasn't earlier in the week, because I really needed them.

Last week I watched the movie "Stranger Than Paradise", it is an old Jim Jarmusch movie from the 80's. I'm not sure if I would have enjoyed so much if I wasn't from Hungarian ancestry, and if my grandmother wasn't born in Budapest. There is one scene with the Hungarian-American aunt that made me laugh out loud, really loud.
