All good here.Hello everyone. How is my tort family? I’m sorry if I worried anyone. I didn’t mean to.
I caught my smallest sulcata digging a burrow today. He’s always been leagues different from the other two but apparently it’s too hot for him! The location is convenient for the burrow so I’m going to allow it.. for now..So it’s almost a waste of time to see it but Phoenix temperature for the next 14 days is going to range from 110 to 115. We have set a record for the number of days over 110°. It has got to be the easiest gig in town to be the weatherman in Phoenix. They should not be paid. Certainly not for delivering that kind of news. If I told everybody they were dying every day I went to work I would not be paid…wait never mind I would be paid. Huh. Anyway it is too hot! I think this is the first time I’ve seriously contemplated moving away from the Phoenix area but it be too hard to set up work elsewhere at my age so I guess I’m stuck. Maybe I’ll retire elsewhere. Anyway, everybody keep telling me how glorious your weather is so I can eat my liver but I’m not jealous of the humidity.
AGREE... with cheese of courseMushrooms make everything better!
I hate hate hate the so called new math. My two teenage sons were taught real math by me and I'm glad I did. I worked with high school graduates lately entering college that couldn't even count back change after learning new and so called improved math. Math is simple if you follow the basic rules.If I had young children it would not be a problem, the problem comes in that the schools want you to teach the children a certain way. For instance take maths, they don't do the carry over system when it comes to adding and subtracting, they have a completely different way of teaching it. And if I had to teach my young kids, I would struggle because I would want to teach them the way that I know and the the way that would be the easiest for them to understand and get to the right answer. BUT the schools insist that you teach them the way that they have set out whether the child understands it or not.
So I would never be able to do the home schooling this year. The second thing is that my son being older and in grade 9, his maths for example is waaaaayyyyyy over my head, and I just plain don't want my kids to know just how much more clever they are compared to me. ?

Thanks to her partner for this.
He also has kindly informed me of the animals.
Some cats are at the local animal shelter, others have gone to friends. The dogs, too.
The Greek tortoises are at the animal shelter. The Redfoots are with a friend who is a tortoise and turtle expert in Wuppertal.
The sulcatas have gone to an animal park in North-Rhine-Westphalia. The Aldabras are "in a real tortoise paradise" in Bavaria near Nuremburg. The guy there is a real tortoise freak whose animals live better than he does.
