It's chicken livers for lunch. :)

I'm having left over Australian sheep shearer's mince pot (I posted the recipe in the food thread). I actually LOVE liver and onions. Haven't had that in quite a while.

Clovis weather report:

March isn't actually coming in like a lion, however it is a bit breezy. We don't usually get our wind until towards the end of March. The sky is blue with huge puffy clouds that occasionally blot out the sun. When not being blotted out, it's quite warm outside. Supposed to rain again tomorrow, so we should enjoy it while we can.

I've seen quite a few of my water turtles, so I'm guessing their winter nap is over. Yesterday it took me about 45 minutes to "encourage" SO into the shed. They don't have ANY cold sense. AT ALL!! Aldabran tortoises love a mud puddle. With all the rain we've been having, there's quite a nice mud puddle in their yard. Well, yesterday SO parked in the puddle, unbeknownst to me, and sat there all day. The sun wasn't shining yesterday. It wasn't REAL cold, but for a tortoise, 50F is cold enough. Usually, because of their size (almost 300lbs now), their inner core stays warm for a long time. However, sitting in 50F degree water and weather all day long soon cooled him down muchly. By the time I found him, about 5p, he could hardly move. When I "encourage" BO to move, all I have to do is tap on the rear of his carapace and he moves away from the tap. That doesn't work with SO. I could tap on him all day long and all he does is hootchy kootchy. So I had to get food encouragement. Luckily, I had cantaloupe and banana. Like I said - it took about 45 minutes for him to walk about 30' from the puddle to the shed. I need a front loader tractor!

ARGGGGH! Closing on the house has been pushed back ANOTHER month due to a lack of available appraisers. No one has even given me any hints on who to bribe to grease the wheels.

I don't think many of us actually realize that what you say about your driving is true. I got the irony.
