Look who showed up in my kitchen today. It's about 2-3 inches long with more than half of that tail. I put it in a jar to photograph. I'm going to release it this evening in the back yard. Maybe it'll keep the place bug-free for awhile, if he can avoid the neighborhood cats.
Spiro and Phoebe my long-time friends from SoCal/NoIda are in the OC for a few days and I paid them a visit. We talked for hours catching up on everything before venturing out in the rain to brave South Coast Plaza. We had a great early dinner at Wahoo's Fish Taco. It was very nice to see them and their beautiful Tiffin Allegro Bay motorhome. They are the perfect hosts even when they're on the road.
This evening around sunset we were treated to a contrail from a rocket launced at Vandenberg Air Force Base up the coast and west of my location. I heard later that it was a missile test and it failed.
