There was so much crap to clear out.

before


after


The rabbit and @tinypliny stopped by along the way.

I cannot wait till tomorrow night. A camping, dancing adventure awaits.

Popular science published its magazine as a chrome web app . It seems to work ok in other browsers.

It was a pretty awesome experience flipping through the magazine on the TV and the stories were pretty good. There is also an angry birds app - It also works in firefox.

I always want to get another sulcata but I can't because they just get to big. Then today I found a kind of tortoise that stays relatively small at 6-7" and is very similar looking to a baby sulcata. Its called a greek golden tortoise . Then I found this site saying golden greeks are not a type of tortoise

Here it is in all its cuteness. I would name it creme puff.


I take it back, nothing is as cute as a baby sulcata.

@terry and I went to home depot to buy a ton of soil. We had to rent a truck. The manager heard how much soil we were buying and that we rented a truck so he offered us a ton of broken but more expensive organic dirt, soil, mulch, sand bags for free with the stipulation we had to load it ourselves and take it all of it. In the end we moved over 3000lbs of material with our "grace" muscles. Now we have to unload it at home.

I had this dream that basra the tortoise @paul #54485 dried up and his shell cracked open. He one eye dried off and his arms and legs had dried up into stumps. Even though half of his organs were hanging out his shell and he couldn't really, see he was still alive.

After a serious freakout where we all tried to blame each other for letting him dry out, we scooped him up and held him together with wegmans bags and hangers. Once we got him to the vet, she said she had been conducting research on this type of problem and that she could turn him into a bionic tortoise for ~$20,000 and that he would have his normal lifespan. He would also be able to hook him up to a computer system and communicate directly brain by writing computer programs. As soon as I decided to go through with the procedure, I woke up.

This gem is sitting in the parking lot behind India Gate on elmeood. It looks like a prop from a horror movie. I wonder what era its from?

Went to Thursday in the square last night to see Blues Traveler. Despite it being packed, the lack of chairs made moving around much easier and we got right up front. Its so entertaining to watch girls throw themselves at @enknot. Seriously, its like deer on those corn feeders.







The sound on the video is horrible because we were so close up.

For someone who doesn't love Mexican food this is unusual but I @terry wanted to eat at they taco truck so bad and he was willing to drive to it, so we went for lunch at the larkin complex parking lot.

The chicken burrito I had was amazing as was the yummy krazy corn. It was cheap and delicious which is a great combo. I would totally go back.





One of my former students designed the site where you can lookup the trucks location each day

First off they did an amazing job on thr decor and presenntation. I never madr it to juniper ao I am not sure how nuch was already there but I love thee setup od the restaurant.

I had the fish tacos. They were pretty yummy and looked great but they were also $16. Everyone knows I have no problem spending money on food, but expensive Mexican food labeled as "street fare" seems like a contradiction to me.

The guacamole was good for me because it was not spicy, I think @terry and @heidi felt different about the spiciness. They make it right ay the table which is pretty fun to watch and then server it in a stone pot.

In general there were a whole lot of tasting soubding items on thr menu that I would try and would try it again.

I bet its going to be hard for then to compete with the new Mexican restaurant being opened by the seabar folks at Allen and Elmwood.
