I do, I do! They're always on TV trying to sell car-insurance. Do they come door-to-door in Texas?
Fall isn't bad so far... Not too many overcast periods.
Pretty cold mornings but no frost, so my potted plants are still fine.
We hit 37 F this morning, supposed to hit 54 F sometime today.
LOL! Yes, they do come "door to door" in Texas!
They are smaller than the Geico lizard and fleshy colored with striped tails! The baby ones get inside a lot, but with the advent of cooler weather, they disappear...which is a good thing!!! It's my understanding Florida has them year round!
Yea, I know them from the same commercial CC knows them from. Actually, I've seen them at in little glass cages at the school. But you're right~we don't have them running lose up here.
I really detest the little rascals! They gross me out! If they stayed outside, it would be fine, but not in the house!
See, guys, there ARE advantages to living in a really cold climate!

Are they pushy? Do they speak "Cockney" like on the commercial or just regular Texan-English?
I think I'd prefer that to tele-marketing, at least they're small and my dog would have fun running them off.
Are you sure they are actually "geckos?" I looked in my book of native reptiles and amphibians of Florida and geckos only exist in southern and central FL, the only native gecko lives in extreme southern FL.
I hear there are many kinds of lizards in the southern U.S. In central FL and many parts of the southeast they have what the locals call a "chameleon." It's actually an "anole." It show some pics where they are flesh coloured with a stripe, others where it's green, since this lizard can change colour for camouflage, temps or emotion. The "green anole" could be the lizard you speak of as my book says it's native to the entire state of Florida.
I love Autumn season too it's such a beautiful season but I have yet to experience a live Autumn season having only lived in California and Arizona!
My name happens to be Autumn as well
We had a very long hot streak here 2 days ago we broke record highs by 10 degrees at 88. Felt like low 90's. But today its a normal october day out of no where its fall.
Humidex? I didn't realize it was a term for weather. We even have different words they use in different part of the U.S. When we were in Fla., they'd say "feels like" ~such as~80 degrees, feels like 84. Here they always say, "Heat index."
