little hidden lizard

[gurdonark]

This afternoon I tackled my car. I cleaned. I sorted. I moved things from car to house. I noted in the trunk that I had 2 Scrabble games, a 3rd place Punt, Pass and Kick trophy dated 1968, a collection of cards people sent me for high school graduation, an unopened kit for a pinhole camera (since placed on bookmooch.com), and the usual array of things I need not enumerate because any day reading my weblog would offer a pretty good run-down of what is involved.

Tomorrow the car goes to one of those pleasant-but-not-carried-away places to go through a bit of a wash and scrub and minor makeover. I hope the car cleans up nicely, so that our road trip at the end of the week
works out without a hitch.

When I was standing in my garage, I saw a tiny lizard walking on the perimeters of the garage. He made for a corner in which he stopped still-stock, nearly totally blended in with the drab area against which he leaned. I snapped a picture or two, in which he barely appears. Natural camouflage fascinates me.

Today I'm reading William E. Barrett's "Lilies of the Field", a book deserving of (and receiving) an excellent Sidney Poitier movie treatment. Aside from that I focused in the main on practical things, to good effect.
Now for three solid days of hard work--I'm actually pleased by the prospect.

Oh, I loved that "Lilies of the Field" movie. So long ago. In the good old days. :-)

The book, really a little novella, is really charming, and worth a read.

that lake.

terribly off topic, but have you ever been to white rock lake?

Yes! I was just there a few weeks ago. I really like it there--lots of nature and wildlife for an urban lake, and lots of people watching and hiking. It's possible now to get there by train, which is really a good thing.

I had to clear out the deceased Lumina recently and found an assortment that I felt might have caused a stranger to wonder aloud about me. I had a huge assortment of socks, a Build-a-Bear bag filled with insulin needles, approximately 20 outdated boxes of lice shampoo, a lacrosse stick, mix and match clothing, 6 cans of baked beans and an assortment of trash, paperwork and life chaos. Sadder still - the bulk of it now resides in the trunk of the Maxima.

Your collection is as varied as mine, but I am hoping to a cessation to trans-migrations of souls! :)
