Just Hangin’ Around
“Gecko House?? You have a house for your gecko?” “No Bob, that’s what we call our mountain lodge in Tuscany. It sticks to the cliff face. You’ll see when you visit next month.” He’d seen lots of lodges up in the mountains in Idaho – big deal.

A great story, Archon! Your images of how he was clinging to the cliff were so vivid I got vertigo reading them. Very funny and clever.
