    Koran burning - good news, bad news...

    Good news - looks like the idiot American won't be burning the Korans. Bad news - looks like American Free Speech and our constitution isn't something worth fighting for unless we agree with it. Good news - radical muslims around the world still hate Christians, Americans, and any other...

    Another rescue... sort of

    So the herp society I’m a member of was looking for folks in the group with monitor experience. Sadly, or prominent monitor expert had recently passed away and nobody else was chiming in. As a kid (and to this day) my favorite critter has been monitor lizards. My dream was to have...

    OK, this is getting a little crazy....

    So my twin daughters have a little brother named Brenden. We have become friends with his family and he comes to his sister's b-day parties, and we go to his. We see him other times as well, as we want them to be able to grow up knowing each other. So the family that has him is not able to...

    My girls were in a bad traffic accident..

    My 2 teen daughters were on a trip with some of our family friends down in California. Matt, the husband, had to leave early for work, so Kara, her 2 kids, and my 2 kids were driving a suburban pulling a 26 foot travel trailer (like a big RV with kitchen, bathroom, sleeping areas) and working...

    Sulcata yard and shed

    My 2 bigger sullies share this shed. It is insulated and has a door on each end. It has a space heater for the winter, and ceramic bulbs over each of their beds. I just tore it up and moved it to this spot. So it looks a mess. Will give it a cleaning, a coat of paint, and some stain for...

    Did someone mention the Tortoise and the Hare?

    Dozer has been up to his usual antics lately. Again probably inspired by stories of the infamous 'Bob'... He rammed my 8yr old in the back pretty hard. We were sitting there with his house moved and torn apart all over his yard. Ethan was just helping pull some nails and sitting in the...

    A new kid for Father's Day

    Our goat finally went into labor (actually right on her due date). I noticed the change in her ligaments Sunday night that is supposed to be a sign that she is about to go into labor. Sure enough, she started contractions soon after. We put the twins to bed and the rest of us gathered...

    Pics of my tort yard

    Have a few pics of my tort yard from last month I thought I'd share. The weeds are out of control and need to be weed wacked and mowed down. I had been hoping the 2 torts would be able to keep it trimmed, but that just isn't happening. Maybe when i eventually have all 3 in there...
