Lizards are incredibly happy and prolific since I put in big garden boxes

Sorry, I don't have a pic. Usually I go back there after work and see them all over but they roam up to the front in the day. The pic I want would involve putting a endoscopy type camera (fiber optic Bluetooth) under the garden boxes and I don't have one yet. Also they mostly spend their time under the boxes when I approach.

Anyway: I built and installed a couple garden boxes 4 x 8' in my yard and I'm in Southern Cal. which is huge lizard territory anyway. Over the last year, I've noticed hundreds of lizards on any given day coming from under the box (it's an inch off the ground) and running there to hide. I'm sure they're breeding down there because the population is off the charts now.

On the bright side there's never an insect in sight now yet I still manage to screw up my veggies I try to grow.

Mostly I'm curious if this is a known thing for lizards to hang out under garden boxes very close to the soil? I can't find much about it via net searches.

Cleaning a Spirit II E-310 Gas Grill (Natural Gas) grill. (Yearly or so)

I think I'm 3 years into this grill and it's great other than when you clean it. I just scraped off about 5 lbs. of cancer-chips and slag and iron oxide or whatever grows on the heat shield things and the grill-top and it's pretty disgusting.

I'm just wondering if anyone has gotten through the first 5 years without replacing the grill on top or at least the heat deflectors (I have no idea what they're called). The burners are the only thing that looks good which is something. The bottom of the grill-enclosure must have 1/2 an inch of rust chips on it that I scraped off as best I could.

Is there seriously a 5 year warranty on this thing? Do they honor it? I have to give a lot of credit to them. Every other grill I've had has collapsed into a pile of rustdust in about 2 years so this is amazing to me.

(I'm 90% sure this will be deleted because I didn't put a picture on it, but it looks pretty good from the outside. )

Reading from phone or tablet causes blurriness that lasts hours.

About two years ago, I started having dry eye but I don't think that's the cause of this problem.

Problem: If I read from a book, paper or regular laptop screen, I'm okay. If I read from a phone or tablet for over 10 minutes, I'm done seeing well for the day. Only some sleep will reset my eyes back to good again.

I've seen a couple well-thought-of eye doctors that could not figure this out. Yes I have some dry eye and use drops but this came after the dry eye which was manageable.

It's bad enough that I can't drive safely after using the phone or tablet. To stay more or less safe, I don't drive once this starts up, but does anyone out here have anything similar? Could be a bad case of CES (Computer eye strain) or maybe dry eye?.

I've taken to doing the 20-20-20 thing where you shift your eyes to a focal point 20 feet away for twenty seconds to keep in focus but that's only an iffy solution.

According to doctors I don't have any huge apocalyptic eye problems, but they're sometimes wrong. I have no idea right now. I'm basically off phones and tables because this is the only solution I've found.
