Is that a gecko in your pants...

 ...or are you just happy to see me?

Looks like some guy got busted for trying to smuggle lizards (44 of them!!!) out of New Zealand in his pants.  That's a hell of a reason to end up in prison.

Took a noontime drive about 5 minutes west of where I live; it is close to the Oquirrh Mountains, and near the old Hercules Powder Company property.  As usual, click on the photo to enlarge.














Hercules is on the left, those are the Oquirrhs straight ahead.

The property is fenced and posted no trespassing, so there aren't a lot of visitors other than these guys.
 This is a shot from the same spot as above, only toward the property itself.  You can see part of the herd of deer browsing.














Some of them were quite close to the fence, and didn't get too spooked as long as I made no sudden moves.


















This doe starting getting suspicious; I was only about 20 feet from them on the other side of the fence.


I took a couple more pictures, then left.  They are out there in the early afternoon almost every day during the winter.  During the summer they usually don't come out until late afternoon.  We sometimes get a herd of elk in the same area, but I haven't seen any of them this year.

The guy who drew attention to ACORN has stepped in it this time.  It seems he and three others tried to sneak in and to some illegal phone-tapping at a Democratic senator's office.
I don't know what he thought he was doing, but this sort of thing is unacceptable.  I don't care what party a person belongs to, you don't break in and spy on people unless you are in law enforcement and you have a damn good reason and a warrant.

A popular song from the eighties.  This one is for Terri.



This one if from 1960, and was quite popular. Yeah, it's 50 years old, but I still like it.
