I know, I know, I expected it. But, cursed with a totally corrupt and incompetent mayor in DeBlASSio, I was hoping that numerous allegations of corruption, paying for his legal representation with TAXPAYER money, letting the schools, the infrastructure, etc. go to absolute hell during his tenure, having a distinct rise in crime, literally sneaking homeless shelters into neighborhoods in the middle of the night, selling off prime real estate to developers who contribute to his campaign, etc. would be enough for NYC residents to put down their freakin' cell phones for once, pay attention enough to make themselves informed voters, and then go vote. But no, they couldn't be bothered to exercise that right which good men (and women) died to protect. Democracy only functions with an educated populace who will take the trouble to participate, and these complacent duds could not be bothered. I really unloaded on my neighbors for not voting, and the wife for not even registering to vote. I walked in the cold and rain to get to my polling place and proudly wore my "I Voted" sticker out. But to no avail. Four more years as a reward for utter corruption and incompetence. I just cannot believe it. I have nothing but contempt and anger for my fellow NYC residents who were too lazy and too uncaring to bring about positive changes for the rest of us.
We have our problems with idiots down here too. Your lizards and wildlife can be all over but Big Bend area is where you’ll see them in droves with the cactus (cacti?) and desert country. That’s why the ads say to visit Texas.......it’s a whole other country and they be’s right..........;)
Cute horned toad! They eat a diet of ants, and if you don’t have a ready supply of ants for them to eat, you had best not keep them as pets. I never kept horned toads because of that. I do have Chihuahuan Spotted whiptails, utas, brown anoles, a big fat leopard gecko, a granite night lizard, and a pair of Tucson banded gex (captive bred). Loves me my teeny lizards!
