If you meet a tower climber, you may want to thank him or her for our cellular service, wi-fi, & more! My lizard knows one and thanks him often, not for what he does, but for who he is!
Lil’ Murph gets excited when the tower climber comes to visit!

So here’s Murph waiting to see him……and waiting
This is a day in the life of a tower climber:

It’s that windy up there on a seemingly calm day!
Apparently, the lizard’s tower climber has always had crazy upper body strength!
The moment Murph’s been waiting for…

…and he couldn’t keep his little eyes open!
Lizards….
they love their people!

When my dad was young, he had a job servicing 400 foot towers in Kansas. He didn’t have safety ropes in the 1940’s. He had to climb the towers and do the work holding on to the steal of the towers. He said there were buffalo in the fields around the towers and he had to outrun the buffalo between towers. Between climbing towers and outrunning buffalo, he was in really great shape when he was in his early 20s.

Oh man! I’m happy he survived. The metal had to be freezing, and he couldn’t wear too many layers for warmth, it would affect his grabbing abilities! What a life to have experiences with Buffalo like that! That is neat to know! Indeed, he had to be in optimal physical well-being! I’m so glad you shared that.

Tower climbing in Alberta not a happy task at the moment.
It hit -53 degrees Celsius a couple of nights ago.

I also know Murphy’s Tower Climber; he is my grandson. He is an awesome young man and because of him I have an incredible amount of respect for Tower Climbers!

I love that last picture so much. Adorable. My Iguana used to ride on my shoulder and sleep only lap. They truly do love their people. Thank you for this post. Brave man and sweet lizard.

Thank you, so very much. That is my son, the tower climber. I wish him to be lower, safer, warmer. He deserves it. He is a hard worker. I cannot help but use the word proud in reference to him. He has always known the way of lizards. He understands them, appreciates who they are and has loved them as his equals : ). Yes, they do love us back. Do you have photos of your beloved iguana that we may see?
