Probably those were North American desert horntoads, also called horny lizards.
I’m no herpetologist … feel free to step up, anyone who knows more…
But Nighthawks’ picture looks to me more like an Australian creature called the horny devil.
….
I watched a video about it a couple of years ago when my then 12 year old great niece got interested in raising bearded dragons, another sort of spiny Australian lizard that does better in captivity.
The horny devil is incredibly fierce looking but in reality is only about four inches long.
I looked for the video again just now, but only found a couple I didn’t like.
Thanks for your answer.

But actually, Claude raises an interesting question…
How do you handcuff someone with one arm?
It actually came up around here a couple of years ago when a one armed man sued the police after he claimed to be injured by some sort of restraint they put around his opposite shoulder, to which they handcuffed his hand.
I think now they put a long zip tie around the person’s waist and attach the cuff to that.
,,,
I also read an article online about a woman who got handcuffed at an airport.
I didn’t know I’d be writing about it so I didn’t try to remember the details…
But I believe she left a wheeled suitcase unattended and went to the restroom… oooh…. very suspicious…
and when she came back and started pulling it toward the metal detectors at the gate, she was arrested and handcuffed.
She was crying but the police were adamant.
The thing is, she was a paraplegic in a wheelchair.
According to the television show “Dexter” it is the practice of Chicago Police to “flamingo” an uncooperative suspect.
They handcuff one wrist to the opposite leg’s ankle.
I suppose the general idea could be used with one-armed people as long as they had at least one leg left.
As a side note, while the language is a bit rough (the T.V. show took it to extremes which is why I stopped watching), any of Jeff Lindsay’s Dexter series reads well. There are continuing story lines throughout, but the individual books can be read for their immediate story.
I don’t recall if “flamingoing” was strictly television or not.
… assessment of his fortune; $315,000,000,000.00.
Also accepting a conservative ( I think anyway) 2% net yearly return to him (spending money in other words) from that fortune, this is the mathematics (see attachment for rest of comment / the formulae don’t post properly / click on it to magnify it).
I posted some photos of the front of the Prius on yesterdays comments.
I’ll say it again, that is a lot of damage for hitting something that is (probably) 90% empty space.
Any damage underneath, or was it just the tire and cosmetic damage? From the looks of the pics, you could change the tire and drive it if necessary until you could get it fixed. I’d have to see it up on a rack to judge if there was any more damage.

Nice shot!

My brother lived in Nevada and he loved those things.
He did everything he could to keep them around the house and out building.
They love ants.

Now I’m having trouble again with image upload.
You can’t tell it’s there until (and IF) it posts.
bingo!
What a cuddly little guy!
Great Halloween costume!

From yesterday.
Thank you for the compliment.
‘s Christmas fudge recipe which appears at the bottom of the page.
I’m presuming the “Divinity Fudge ” recipe I posted is the one you mean.
But if you think …

Boo! 😀

I think that method, if they make the suspect bend over double, rather than being able to walk upright,
as, for instance, with a long chain between ankle and wrist, has been the subject of lawsuits.
It’s generally considered police brutality to afford an untried suspect no human dignity.

avocado sandwich
I would eat that! 😛
Me three.
Same thing for a three-legged race…
Good morning Cleophanatics!
Y’all have a Dagwood! (((((HuGz!)))))
Corned beef sandwich and a side of coleslaw…
I thank you for your ‘suggestions’ for our dinner menus, Plods and Nighthawks.
I love a good breakfast sandwich. A good one. Made at home, not out of a fast food box food joint.
Because, just because…

Confound it, Claude! Don’t you watch the new cop shows? They ever-so-gently place him in the cop car and drive him to the station.

Goodness, that’s a LOT of damage from a flimsy chair. That tire is history!
I got a look at the chair’s remains. It was a fairly nice chair. Obviously, well built! 😀
Any damage underneath, or was it just the tire and cosmetic damage? From the looks of the pics, you could change the tire and drive it if necessary until you could get it fixed. I’d have to see it up on a rack to judge if there was any more damage.
