Lynn and I are examining a large model railroad setup in the back of my father’s yard in the desert. I am trying to guess why one of the trains isn’t operating right. It turns out that it has two engines, one of which is painted like a box car. A flash flood nearly knocks me off my feet as I discover a tortoise crawling across the sand at my feet. Several baby turtles — no larger than my thumbnail — appear in the water. I spy a pair of [[chameleons]] and a couple of [[anoles]] clinging to the redwood fence. I catch them and place them in a herparium decorated with green leaves.
