my new friend!

i saw this little fellow when i went to do my laundry today. we have to go outside our unit to do laundry and we have to pay for it [boo-urns], but hey, beats having to haul shit to the laundromat, i guess. anyways, i saw this cute little guy hanging out there. he's been just sitting around each time i go down to do laundry, so i thought i would snap his photograph. i have decided he's my laundry buddy and his name is barnacle pete.
he looks like a little old man. and he moves very very slowly.
he got shy and ran [slowly] under a pipe and snacked on a bread crust he found.

he turned his back to me after a bit and look how frigging long his tail is! [that's my index finger!]
