Iggi knew he was doing something wrong from the beginning.

And now the new ordinance said, "Do Not Proliferate."

Alas, another era missed.

  1. Hi, Jim,
    You make me smile over and over again. I had to look up the word proliferate to get hold of the text.
    Now my vocabulary is broadened and I'm happy that creature doesn't exist any more.
    Not all "antiques" are worth keeping.

  5. I'm with Helen — ignore, Iggy, ignore! I've become quite fond of iguanas (not on a person-to-critter basis, but in general) because I've seen several different kinds and colors of them on our travels.

  6. Hi Jim ~~ Thank you so much for your comments and prayers for my visit with the Heart doctor. It went well -we discussed medications and I had another ECG and he asked if I was dizzy or distressed with the slow
    heart rate and I said no, so we agreed to leave it awhile, then have blood tests (again) and a 24 hour check on the heart rate. It may go up and down, but is close to 45 most times So I see him in 3 months. Glad you enjoyed the post and the lemon tree is strange - and maybe it needs something. Hope you are doing OK my friend and
    thank you again. Cheers, Merle.
