Basra the Sulcata Drinking From Hose

·

Another 640 x 480 video because I forgot to change the camera to the HD setting, ugh. Anyhow, here is proof that sulcatas will basically drink from a hose. Basra even likes to drink from the sprinkler.


Gatur's Ethiopian on Allen Street

·

Last Wednesday we had an amazing lunch at Gatur's on Allen Street. We managed to order almost every item on the menu including all of the appetizers and all of the desserts but I only snapped this one pic because I was stressing about work and @tinypliny was already taking pics.

The picture is the vegetarian platter. I also had the lamb tibs which was totally amazing. In fact I am pretty sure I want it for lunch again this week.

Swimming at Windmill Point Quarry in Fort Erie

·

We make the trip to Canada all the time to go swimming at Windmill Point because the water is so clear. We go so much that this time we had 2 free swims from the frequent swimmer pass.

The difference was this time the water was so full of algae I could barely see my feet underwater. Last year we came for @terry's birthday at the same time of year and it was was clear then.

Road Kill Illusion

·

A while back I took this picture of some road kill mashed into the ohio street bridge. I swear, I did not photoshop this in any way but it looks like a woman with a beehive hairdo looking up. I'm not even sure what part of the bird that is.

Everyone always says it looks like Kyle's mom from South Park.

·

The are so freaking cute and there is going to be another one. Zooey built a little pond in the backyard with mud, rocks and the hose.

Tongue Tied

I am so obsessed with this song and I really have no idea why. I think the beginning reminds me of a new order song I like. I added the ability to embed spotify songs in estrip blogs. Just right click on any song in spotify, choose "copy spotify URI" then just paste it anywhere in your blog. It looks like
spotify:track:0GO8y8jQk1PkHzS31d699N



Salt n pepa

It was so dangerously crowded we couldn't even get over the bridge. The police dude on the segway had such hot calves.

Jabe Pond 2012

·

It was such an amazing, peaceful time full of swimming, grilling and running around naked in the forest like a bunch of monkeys wrestling trees to the ground for fuel. I wish I could have stayed another week so bad. Maybe next time. Someone posted a great video of the road up to jabe

We had one really rainy storm that was borderline terrifying but it was beautiful most of the week.

The water was so crystal clear and amazing. It was the perfect combo of warm when it was cloudy and cool and cold when it was too warm in the sun.

Can you eat the clams from the adirondack lakes? I have never seen this kind in stores before. Many of the shells were pitted, I think it may be caused by acid rain. UPDATE: they are mussels are they are an endangered species. Here is an insteresting story of their past

Last night of a week long camping trip. It was a long journey home. Luckily part of it involved dinosaur BBQ. I already miss swimming.
