\"\"<\/a>I once thought that my Alligator Lizard confrontation was the most harrowing thing to happen but no so, my friends. \u00a0My housekeeper came to work this morning with her camera-phone. \u00a0“Guess what was in my front yard yesterday?” she said. “An iguana.” Of course I assumed she meant a lizard that LOOKED like an iguana, after all my lizard looked like a rattlesnake to me. Then she produced evidence (I couldn’t take the photo off her phone) but this was definitely an iguana – a big one. \u00a0The neighbor told her he saw one in her palm tree the day before but then he drinks a lot, so she wasn’t sure. \u00a0Then yesterday she was gardening and “HELLO!” \u00a0There it was. \u00a0She said she almost fell over. “Corri y grite,” she said. She ran and screamed. Anyway, her cousin came over and took it away.\u00a0Her iguana trumps my lizard for sure. \u00a0What’s next? \u00a0A bear? \u00a0Oh right, there are bears going into local trash cans. \u00a0Coyotes? \u00a0Been there. \u00a0Bobcat? Done that. Mountain lion? Just down the street. Yes, Beverly Hills is paradise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
