[MBZ] Chameleon Benz

2006-09-28 Thread Rich Thomas
So on Tuesday I looked at Brunnhilde who was parked in front of the 
house, as I was pulling out of the driveway, and noticed a chameleon 
sitting on top of the steering wheel.  Most curious, I noticed its 
profile only since it was darkened considerably sitting on the black 
steering wheel.  So yesterday I hop in to go to the grocery, expecting 
lizards to be dashing about the interior, but no such thing.  I get to 
the store, open the door and a chameleon runs out from somewhere, over 
the door frame and onto the outside of the door where it was holding on 
(how do they do that?).  I close the door and it dashes in the front gap 
back inside the car I guess.  I got back in after my store run but no 
creature to be seen.


This year has seen a bumper crop of chameleons, geckos, and these little 
frogs about an inch long that come out at night, that I have not seen 
before. The geckos and frogs are noisy as hell when they get cranked up, 
even the geckos during the day.  Last night there were 4 frogs, two 
geckos, and a chameleon on the kitchen window, maybe attracted by the 
light or each other.  I guess Brunnhilde's is pushing into new territory.


My question is, if I go to sell the car on eBay can I say it has very 
rare custom lizard skin seats?

You sure someone wasn't trying to sell you insurance?

I am sorry, I only answered SIGNED questions concerning lizards in Mercedes.

If you are lurking, Marshall, sorry but I couldn't resist THAT.

Absolutely!

I've forgotten - where are yo? The lizard population in OK has mostly
dissappeared. I miss the little insect eating creatures.
