Basra the Sulcata tortoise chases hamster

I know sulcata tortoises aren't supposed to eat any meat but after basra, our pet sulcata, ate our pet parakeet (e:paul,49948) , I was a little sceptical. Then the other day (e:matthew) was playing with our hamster in the tortoises room and the tortoise went nuts. At first we thought it was because the hamster smelled like hay/grain which kind of smells like the hay pellets we mix in with the tortoise food.

So after that I decided to take a piece of faux fur and attach it to black thread. It smelled like absolutely nothing so that it would rule out a taste for the grain. He really like to chase it. We did this for about an hour. It makes me think I can take him for a walk this way in the summer.

I am still unsure if he is trying to eat it or being territorial or just curious. Then again I found him with a squirrel paw once and my old sulcata I found eating a crow in the backyard.

Day at the zoo

Well after boycotting it since the mid 90s I decided to give it another chance. A lot of stuff seemed to change for the better. I really liked the new exhibit with mixed animals in a more natural habitat.

The tiger pretty much attacked our window.

I think you can find this same thing on craigslist.

Missing Illustrator

Sometimes I miss illustrator so much. I decided to just play with inkscape more to try and get over but I just miss the gradient mesh tool so bad.

Food on Elmwood

One meal at pano's (shrimp with gnocchi with (e:Mike) ) and one at bistro Europa (pork shank and clams with (e:terry) ).

I also got my mercury test back. No problems there so do I stop restricting my large fish consumption or assume the restriction kept it good? The whole thing makes me want a tuna steak.

I also found this report ::READ PDF:: about mercury levels in great lakes fishermen pretty encouraging.

Metaphore

Here is a bench someone put outside in pretty much the only place it is exposed to open sky and gets rained on. Notice the dry spaces around it. Notice how wet it is.

Fedora 14 is out

Fedora 14

is here and yes, they did use that awful backdrop (e:paul,52182). No matter how much they tried to change it, it sucked.
On the boot screen they faded it out enough to make it not noticable.

But on the login screen it is in your face bad.

The best part I have found so far is this new suggestive installer. When I try and run something I do not have installed it suggests I install it. I don't know how this slipped past all of the other reviews I found.
