Never Give Rides to Geckos

After about a half hour of driving on Interstate 95, a little gecko appeared on the windshield, just behind the wiper blade. For some reason, the little guy was trying to find somewhere else to go, which was a bad idea since there was plenty of protection behind the wiper blade.
After a few futile attempts to walk to the other wiper, he finally made it, only to be blown away due to excessive and reckless celebration. I mean this guy was doing back flips and high-fiving himself, forgetting that the car was flying down the highway. While I admired the amazing wiper blade crossing, I had to admit that the partying should have been saved for the exit ramp.
If he had only waited another half-mile, then the party would have been on. But pride got the best of him, leaving him stranded on a four-lane highway.
A gecko without a cause, living life on the edge.

And, no, I don’t think I already said that, although WordPress thinks I did!

Seems emblematic of life, doesn’t it? We often tend to celebrate prematurely, then get blown away. Still good to celebrate, just as you said, wait for the exit ramp!

How did he get there? Where did he end up? Did he get squished? (Hope not…) How intriguing…

Glad to see since he can’t tell his story, you have given his life more meaning by telling his tale.

Great post, I enjoyed the story! I will pretend the gecko came through okay. On another note, how did you manage to take the photo? lol

Aww poor gecko, I loved your the story. I’ve never had anything that fascinating get a free ride on my windshield the occasional spider or ant hops on for a ride.

Awwwww. I hope he made it. What a story he can tell his fellow geckos (if he did make it).
I’m with Komodo D - how’d you manage to snap it?
