We wrapped up the rest of the Halloween weekend with (e:hodown) real low key. Thanks for helping us clean the house.

Here's a picture of a frittata brunch at the coffee shop before she left.

Sunday we went for a walk. I love these almonds but can never justify paying that much. Maybe if I collected all the pennies outside of the M&T.

As found in the TV's computer. How did it get this big without us knowing? If our house burned down, would Apple pay for it?

Halloween party was a great success. (E:Paul)'s decorations turned out really good even though it was weird to eat snacks in the dark (also hard to take pictures).

A ton of people showed up. I started out with costume of a victim of car culture, and ended it with the cute bears.


















(e:mike) in his natural state.

Look out below!

Basra is now a resident of the Phoenix Herpetological Society in Scottsdale, AZ after 16 years in Buffalo.

This 4:30 in the morning we dragged him out of bed, put him in a dog kennel, and got him on the flight to Phoenix. The airpot cargo man was pretty strange. It all was so unceremonious.





I felt guilty sending him away - their website even acknowledges how many sulcatas they receive from people who can't keep them anymore. But I know he'll be a lot happier living in warm weather year round. Who knows, maybe he'll even like their other tortoises?

Since we are sponsoring him, he stays in a special area and we're allowed to arrange visits up to twice a month. (E:lilho) you should stop by. It's too bad Phoenix is such a car centric city and so far away. Cross country bike trip there one day?





See ya later beasty!
