The more I travel, the more I become aware of various stereo-types.  Being from Tennessee, it's common for people to ask if everyone from our area wears coveralls and walks around in bare feet.  On the other hand, folks from the South think that every person in California must be very odd.

Of course, these generalizations are not accurate, but I did see something a few minutes ago that definitely seemed out of the ordinary; and yes, we are in California.  While leaving a restaurant, we noticed a strange scene.


After a second glance, sure enough . . . there was an iguana on a leash.

Is this a common sight in your neighborhood?
