Perpetual Sunsetrise

Today we say farewell to all of our famous visitors.  They will be leaving in the morning before sunrise, to avoid crashing into seabirds.  They will be missed, and many Island inhabitants now feel bigger, stronger, and more important, having met them.  I wish them well, and hope that they continue to do amazing things in the world of mortals.  Aloha. 

Last night, I got home from the bar and caught a baby gecko.  I spent the next 15 minutes trying to take a photo of its eye.  This was the best I could do.  

It pretty much always looks like this here.  At all times of day.  

Houseguests

Living on Midway, you are forced to share your living space with many forms of life.  Two of the cutest can be found inside your house.  I went around my place today and found some models so that you all can see what they look like.  If you want to know more about household pests, I recommend a blog on BB&B:

I tried to find a particularly memorable entry about FJ finding a Midway Pede in his bedsheets, but this was the best I could come up with.

Baby House Gecko.  Off the charts on the Cuteness Scale.

Cucaracha.  I'm not sure which is dirtier: Nik's hands, or this bug?
