I love them better than scorpions, centipedes, tarantulas, and coyotes...although we do have coyotes here too.
Black racers are common here too and they are FAST! Luckily most of my "useful" property is surrounded by a 4'-6' block wall so it keeps most of the critters out. Except for the lizards, we have lots of fat, happy lizards....surprisingly I've never had one drown in the pool (says guy furiously knocking on wood desk.....)

I love these critter-type posts, you get to learn so much about other people's environments.
