Is someone selling car insurance?

So as I was heading upstairs today to discover whether or not (not yet) the computer people had succeeded in cleaning out the office that they had taken over from preservation, I saw a tiny creature wiggle across the floor. Now, wiggle may sound like an odd adjective to use here, but it really was a squirmy little thing. I called my graduate library assistant up to see, and she ran off after a moment to return with a coffee mug and a piece of mylar. It took a little coaxing, but we eventually trapped the little lizard in the cup and took him outside to release him into an environment that would be more likely to have a food source for him. I would have preferred to leave him in the building, but I don't think it could have survived, and any insects I've seen in the building have been considerably larger than this gecko. Oh, well ... I've been told we commonly get much larger ones in the building during the summers, and those ones like to jump out of boxes at people! Happiness.
