Riding with my parents and my brother through
the desert at night
. Hanging over the back of the front seat, watching the frantic
sine wave
s of
kangaroo rat
s' tails as they scurried for their lives in our headlights, or lying on my back on the big shelf behind the back seat, looking up at the stars, which paid no heed to our motion.

Someone has pointed out to me that releasing
Horned Lizard
s on ant hills sounds like endangered species torture. This could not be further from the truth. The
horned lizard
's staple food is ants. It is endangered primarily because of the introduction of the
fire ant
, which was unknown in the US in my youth. Releasing a horny toad on a
red ant
hill was like releasing
Godzilla
on
Tokyo
.
