Open Thread - Thurs 13 Mar 2025 - Geico Lizards?

Geico Lizards

The GEICO Lizard. And I started to see that cute little lizard in other oligarch/politician faces. Like Elon Musk.


The Geico Lizard: from this biography of the lizard! and here's another article about the lizard's origin and subsequent 'life'.

I have too many damn clocks!
Changing them twice a year is becoming tiresome. Each one has a different method and my fat fingers are a challenge when trying to hit little buttons, especially two at the same time.
I have seven in the house including my watch, and another four in various vehicles, with two in one vehicle alone.
