Clean-up and Cool

Knight Anole
Tequesta, FL
October 10, 2024

 The massive destruction across Florida from Hurricane Milton is only now beginning to be understood. 

Chris and I and our little condo community were very lucky. No major damage and, frankly, aside from a couple fronds and branches, no damage at all. We went over to a friend's house yesterday, they are out of town, to assess damage and they, like us, escaped damage. There were a lot of branches in their yard, but no damage. 

Last evening, as we were sitting on the veranda enjoying the dryer and cooler air that followed the hurricane, we spied a large knight anole on the tree in our yard. It was the first time we had identified this species of lizard in our yard. It was a large lizard, about 12-13 inches in length. It sat on the tree for a great while and I believe it may have decided that our yard is its territory. That may not be a bad thing as they eat bugs and even other lizards. 



Cancer Society 300-mile Challenge Update:

I did not ride yesterday due to debris, winds, and clean-up operations in the area. Thus far, I have logged a total of 124.91 miles. I have 175.09 miles remaining to reach the 300-mile goal.
