My dad and I both looked up car rental places, the nearest we could find was Grand Junction, which is about 100 miles away. There was a Jeep rental place closer but it was for local excursions into the desert. We also looked up car dealerships thinking since I need a car I could probably just buy one around here. Pretty far away again, a local might give me a ride to one of these places but that's way too much to ask of a stranger when I have two lazy friends that could easily do it if they weren't more concerned with what they were going to do in Vegas last night and not helping me out.

As for the lizard. He took it out of its bigger mesh cage and put it in a small glass tank. Its a bearded dragon that's about 6 months old or something like that, probably like 10 inches long. He had lettuce in the cage, which he feeds it at home to supplement the crickets he gives it each day. He said it wasn't eating and was really worried about it, but not worried enough to not stop further up the road. He might have wandered around outside and gathered up insects for it or something, but I don't see him ever doing something like that. Maybe he found a place to buy worms for it? I don't know. All I know is that he didn't want to stay here and was okay with leaving me here to wait to hear about my car.

I'm in a room in the hotel where they serve the breakfast, I think its a break room the rest of the day and they don't want people in here as they keep the door closed. But some people have walked in a few times and one of the ladies that knows what my situation is came in to say good bye when she went home so they're being pretty cool around here. I think I need to get a lot of Utahian??? friends, they seem really nice.
