I guess no matter how hard I try not to kill, it just come naturally to me, so here is this journal I will confess my deeds to all of the world.
We have 2 garden hoses, one has been stored on a hose reel and the other has just been wrapped upon itself on the ground since we moved to FL. Well the one on the reel has been leaking since we moved down here and for whatever reason I decided to switch them out today.
So I unwrap the reel and hook up the other hose which has sat on the ground for 9 months at least, I put on the nozzle and turn the water on, it works perfectly then stops, so it dawns on me there must be leaves and crap in there so I undo the nozzle and a shit load of crap comes out including a gecko lizard. It was pretty small and just sat where it landed so I touch it to see if its alive and it takes off…..whew…
Then I notice the nozzle has a tail sticking out of it and see another larger gecko is in my nozzle. I try to get him to come out, but I know better then to pull on its tail, so I nock it against the hose a few times and then figure out it is more then likely dead… and its head is caught in the moving parts of the nozzle, I try to take the nozzle apart, but no dice so I need a new nozzle and I need to bury a lizard.
After I deal with that body I decide to reel in my hose and while doing so I move the stand it is on and see the other smaller gecko bolt from under it to my foot, which at the time I was off balance and had all my weight on the other foot and was trying to get my balance and sure enough…. As soon as it bolts I get my other foot down and yep…Killed it…
I lived in FL for 1 year and 9 months and in all that time I have never gotten close to touching a gecko until today and I kill 2 in 5 mins….
Parents lock up your children tonight; there is a murderous madman on the loose…
