Now that's what I'm talking about.

My wife and I are relatively recent empty nesters. On Easter, we had nothing going and I had just gotten a new bike rack for my car. So, we loaded up our bikes and went to a local biking trail. It is about an 8 mile stretch of city managed land along a large canal. It starts at a local university and goes along the canal with some trees and scrub on one side and a sandy grassy swath next to the canal. As we were leaving the university there was some wildlife along the canal including some squirrels and birds. Then we came across an iguana that scampered away as we approached, then a larger iguana that gave us a long stare and lumbered away. Over the course of the 8 miles we probably saw 100 iguanas. I found the small ones will scamper away, but the big daddies will just stare at you as you ride around them. I heard they taste like chicken.

Mmmmmm iguana ... good eats! Waiting for that on Alton Brown.

I'm in!

Coral Castle is something I hope to see before I die.

Coral Castle is both amazing and bizarre. If you are ever in that neighborhood and like BBQ, Shivers BBQ is probably some of the best I've ever had and I used to live in Texas.

Piforama will be closing forever this Sunday. Get in on the action for a supply of the fruitiest / mentholiest goodies to ever have hit your face!

I just wanted to check if my story didn't meet the qualifications for the PIF? If not there's another story I heard about a guy throwing a 3 foot alligator alligator through a Wendy's drive thru window last year. I'm sure I could find the article if needs be

Thanks for double checking me. Sorry missed you. And EVERY one down here knows 4' is just too big to throw through a drive thru window.

Hahaha thanks! No problem! Plus, it was worth it to remember that alligator story!

One of my sons kept three iguanas. Mature male iguanas are attracted to human females during the iguana's breeding cycle.
Info here.

So what you're saying is the iguana's really more of a horny toad?

I'm in, assuming my story qualifies. It's just the most interesting reason that I ever went to Florida. About 27 years ago, I went down for my Grandmother's Bat Mitzvah.

I have to ask (because penguins can be curious) ... was she a later in life convert or did she just never make her Bat Mitzvah? I can't imagine too many grandchildren are present for their grandparent's Bat/Bar Mitzvah.

We are a Jewish famaily, but she wsn't raised religious. So, later in life, she pursued more of a Jewish education. Also, when she was a child Bat Mitzvah ceremonies were not generally done for girls.

Ah, I didn't know that.

Actually, I'm not Jewish, but my wife is, and I've been to several bat mitzvahs of women over 40. I think bat mitzvahs weren't as common 25 yrs ago.

Probably not. BTW, the first one in the US was held in 1922, but they remained uncommon for a long time. (My Grandma was 13 that year.)

She's 108? Go grandma! The stories she could tell.

No, she passed peacefully when she was 90. But she did indeed have her share of stories to tell.

God bless her
