So a week of living with your classmates or what?

Yes, all the 6th graders go to camp and live in dens for the week.
They do archery, 6hr day hike, night hike and star gaze, the counselors tell spooky stories around the fire, and a talent show. Some wood working too.

It's the same camp I went to as a 6th grader. It's really fun.

@maggie3fan : Razzie went to his new forever home today. He weighed 85lbs! The fellow who adopted him is a young man just starting out on his own. He just moved into his uncle's vacant house and the yard is terribly overgrown with (wait for it)...TORTOISE FOOD!!! He said he a herpetologist. I didn't explore that any further, or ask him if he's self proclaimed or studying. He was just thrilled to get the tortoise and the info on how to care for him.

Yay!! That is great news!

Yay! That was a quick adoption!

My sister (in Spokane 500 miles away from me) just sent me a text asking if I 'need another' tortoise and then went on to say that it is "tiny and malnourished" and at least 30 years old. Do I get a species? Nope. Photos? Nope. Can she confirm that it is a tortoise? Nope...

She's going to find out some info for me and then I might be connecting her friends with a rescue, it sounds like they aren't really interested in the animals well being. If it is a redfoot I'll take it, but I'm willing to bet it's not. I've had too many 'pity pets' that I took because no one else was willing. Driving 500 miles for a very ill animal isn't in my budget right now.

don't you hate that awkward moment when you go to hug someone sexy and then you hit the mirror.

Never experienced that one.

Good morning!

Was such a nice clear morning this am. I got to star gaze while walking the dogs.

30 years is a long time. Maybe it will be a hingeback and you could send it my way. (Hey I can dream)

Good morning, all!

I would love to be able to see the night sky. There are too many trees around my property to get a good view. My question is, "Since the earth is spinning, and the "sky" is stationary, why do I usually see the same stars in my little speck of sky each night?" Seems like if the earth spins, I'd see other groups of stars. No?

During the day the earth is spinning also but the damn stars won't show them selves

and at night you go to bed to soon , stay up all night like I do onSat and Sun nights Evan the moon moves across the sky . Have a great day but the night has the stars

Yvonne G · Feb 9, 2016

So you're saying that the earth has just spun back around to where those same stars I saw last night are again in my space?

Yvonne G · Feb 9, 2016

Well, time to get dressed and go do my morning chores. The tortoises and their poop await!

Tuesday is my self imposed "reduced work" day because I can't seem to give myself a day off. I've done hours of exiting, answered dozens of emails and I have 2 shoots. I'm really bad at this game.

Already have one setup . I keep a enclosure setup because you never know when someone will drop off a turtle .
