Spent TDay week in Palm Desert, CA
cutting across the lawn one night I stepped on something-
brain went into analysis mode:
1: No dogs allowed- ain't that
2: No geese around- Ain't that
3: My kid's are potty trained- what the hell is it

Took a look & it was a slug- never thought I'd see a slug in the desert of course
then I suppose there are those who thought they'd never see a lawn there either.
Figure it was probably smuggled in by one of those homesick PAC Northwest wetbacks
