Tortoise Returns

· · 🌡️ 78°F

We found the tortoise. Well someone found him on main St near north. They picked him up and brought him to a pet store on Massachusetts and Normal. Then they contacted @matthew via craigslist. I think it was the nephew of the pet store owner that found him.

He did not like the car ride. I think it made him sick as he shit everywhere.

As soon as he got home he ate and went into his borrough. Its a miracle he was not run over. Now to go take down all the signs.

Lost Tortoise - North and Linwood

· · 🌡️ 83°F

Our pet sulcata tortoise named basra got away today in Allentown near the corner of North and Linwood, by the Church of the Ascension in Buffalo, NY. If anyone sees him, please return him to 24 linwood avenue, 14209. He went missing around 3PM. Please so not put him in water, he is a land tortoise, not a water turtle.

Erie County Fair - misc other

· · 🌡️ 71°F

The fair also has tons of other stuff, from bizarre live infomercials to bathtubs, teeth whitening (2 shades, $79) and no cook cheesecake packets. Even a Christmas village. @matthew said that he read it was the second largest fair in the world.

Erie County Fair - animals

· 🌡️ 71°F

There are so many animals at the fair. Every farmer wants to win giray premium. We learned a lot of interesting facts. One was that Americans spend on average only 14% of their income on food. It is one of the lowest rates in the world.

Erie County Fair Indian Village

· 🌡️ 72°F

We swung by the Indian village on the way out of the fair. Sadly, we missed the dance show. That is usually my favorite part of the fair. It reminds me of @jacob.

The bead treaty thing is kind of sad. We all know how that ended.

oysters, clams and crab

· 🌡️ 85°F

The oysters and clams were good as always. This time we got less oysters because they were out of the Fanny Bay ones. Instead we got the crab meat cocktail which was so freaking good. Crab without the inconvenience of the shell is awesome. It costs $9.95 which seems pretty reasonable to me.

translation

· · 🌡️ 76°F

These are supposed to be the translated instructions for growing some seeds on a Chia pet type plastic toy, flower box.

What are we really supposed to do. Do they just mean to put them in

warm water? Seriously, what kind of seeds can live through an hour of boiling.

The Last Thursday in the square

· · 🌡️ 73°F

It was the last Thursday in the square. I am kind of sad its over. The music sucked. I got bit by a spider. The worker in the yellow shirt was a jerk to terry last time. He gave him so much attitude trying to get a bracelet.

Braciole at Panaro's

· · 🌡️ 71°F

For such a strange, complicated food, it is so delicious. An egg covered in pork and then wrapper in beef. I think my dad's mom made it with something else inside. Maybe salami?
