Omg! I thought I had accidentally killed my friend “Big Spiny” #Lizard by closing a window. I was so upset! When I went to extract him, he opened his eye and looked right at me. I touched a claw and said are you OK? and he whirled around and ran off! I’m so happy…

“Growth” is not infinite. People and resources are finite. Yet #business is continually trying to squeeze more and more out of #customers at every turn, at a time of #economic pressures for the not-wealthy.
