Today was a take it easy day. We napped and were lazy.
However, for dinner
@SouthAlabama5er DW and Patrick rode over. We had dinner at Gulf Island Grill.
Food was great as always. A little confusing for poor waitress as she thought Randy's DW and my DW were with me since we're sitting on same side...
All was good. We talked local politics, proposed new bridge in Mobile, this past May's Dismeet, then all of a sudden Randy's DW is looking right at Randy and yells "Roach!". Now, I'm thinking I missed something. Perhaps he insulted her and she was returning favor kinda thing. Then I look, and sure enough behind his head is this poor, starving multi-legged adorable creature with the most pitiful look on its face obviously hungry and hoping for charity.
There was none to be found I'm sad to say. That side of the booth cleared out quick.
Outside we decided to regroup for ice cream at Scoops and that we did. However, there we found more of the local wildlife, again hungry and hopeful, only this time it was a family of the 8 legged persuasion. So small you could barely see them, but they may as well been tarantulas.
My DW was doing fine with this, but then I caught Randy's eyes looking to the right of my DWs and when I looked there was about a 4" long, very pretty white lizard, again, hopeful look on its face. He was on the brick wall, about a foot away. Everything was good until DW saw it.
I was able to relocate my right shoulder Mel Gibson style later on. I have no idea how she managed to blast me out of the way but she old school ran me over.
I would of gotten pic of the poor creature but it left as fast as my DW.
So by this time it was just Randy and I left at the table.
So, aside from the local wildlife it w as a a good evening.
Randy, hope you and group arrive home safe.
P.S.
Today as we ventured out I did notice apparently somebody missed a red light last night. For those of you familiar with GSP, you turn right coming out of the park on the highway to go to Gulf Shores. You can access one of the beaches at this same intersection. The light pole with the crossing button on it apparently took a hit last night.
A BIG one.
On the right, on the ground is the security light that used to hang from the pole. About 20' the other side of the pole was a headlight. The grass, as you can see past pole was sprayed with antifreeze and oil. I certainly hope nobody was hurt.
The walk/do not walk signs are obviously in need of minor repair.
