If I were in first grade, I'd be taking this to show and tell

But since I'm not, I will make you look at it instead.

Behold the dead lizard. When I found him belly up and tailless in the corral, 
I assumed Johnny ate the best part and left him for dead.


Upon closer examination, I discovered that this lizard had an out-of-body experience,
for not only was his tail gone, all his innards were as well. Either he evaporated from the inside out 
or he shed his skin completely, right down to his cute little toes. I'm sure Google would explain it for me, 
but it's more fun not knowing.


 Lucy thought it was pretty funny that I would: a) pick up a lizard and b) take pictures of it,


 but she was just as curious as I when it came right down to it.



 Don't look now, Alan, but you have a reptile in your mane.



 Maybe we'll start a new game, sort of like Flat Stanley.



We could call him Hollow Larry.

  5. I think it might be time for a ranch visit, or for you to spend a few days off site, you're getting the weirdest case of cabin fever I've ever seen.

  7. Now that's something ya don't see every day. Hollow Larry would make it into the Casa de Cuckoo "wonders" jar along side the perfectly round like a ball rock and the hummingbird egg shell. Right next to the empty turtle shell. We like weird stuff too.

  10. HA HA HA! Rolling on the river laughing this morning. Not really on a river, more like a government cubicle. I hope you are around for another seven years because that is how long I will be stuck in this cubicle and I need to laugh alot until retirement about all kinds of silly stuff, like Hollow Larry!
