Not so cool - fried lizard, $900

On Sunday, I discovered that my air conditioner was blowing warm air. Going outside, I noticed that the compressor was not running. I immediately called my home warranty company to send a service man to check it out.
On Monday, the service man discovered that a lizard had shorted out the compressor unit, frying both himself and the motor. Sadly, this "act of nature" is NOT covered by the home warranty.
$900 in repairs later, I have cool air again. Plus a cool fried lizard!
