Back to work - but it's a short week this go 'round.

Newtcam and Pyecam may be a bit messy for the next couple of days as the house gets put back in order. Or maybe not... the images are a bit outside the primary shuffle-zones.

Hits on the side links for both have been down lately - I wonder why? They've been mighty cute recently and viewings is still pretty high, but nobody wants to go through the ads. I can understand that. I'm just surprised that there aren't more things interesting to folks on the sidebar. I should probably add more text at the bottom to mix the feed up a bit.

In-laws came over for pizza and the 2nd half of astronaut farmer - movie didn't do much for me, but I didn't totally hate it either. BHK was about the same, I think.






I keep thinking of Winston Churchill's quotation, made in a radio broadcast in October 1939:

"I cannot forecast to you the action of Russia. It is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma; but perhaps there is a key. That key is Russian national interest."

Just the "a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma" part.

Nutmeg J Salmonella - the little box turtle that lives in our back yard, near the vegetable garden. Nutmeg - named for a turtle I had as a Kid in Delray Beach (named nutmeg, because that was the name on the pen we had for him to live in - prior resident was a brown rabbit of the same name.) Salmonella - well, because he's a turtle nothing personal, I assure you, dear journal. I love his shell-patterns.. remind me of raccoon footprints. J, because it's standard procedure to give J as the middle initial, isn't it?

We also have a multitude of tadpoles living right next to our bedside window - there's a drainage ditch filled with water that gets just the right amount of sun. I hope all the little froggies are viable, and take care of the mosquitoes that have been appearing since summer hit. They can leave the lightning bugs alone if possible, too.

When I first saw the photo I thought Nutmeg was a toy Fabergé egg. It is a very cool pattern.

He's a nifty little turtle, maybe twice or thrice the size of a jumbo chicken egg.

I really dig all the wildlife in the area I live - Not quite rural, but certainly not the 'burbs.

Hey! Are you trying to say Nutmeg is some kinda puffball turtle!?? I'll have you know that he can take out a whole row of lettuce in one hour flat! He's rootin' and tootin' and ready to rumble---at reasonably reduced speeds albeit!! Faberge Egg INDEED! :D

Oh I'm sure he is the tough shelled terror of the turtle world, the John Henry of the lettuce eating.

One of the squirrels even told me he has a gun rack installed in the back of his shell. And if you look closely his shell markings spell out "AC/DC BACK IN BLACK TOUR 1984".

Oh wow I can't believe I missed that. It's right next to shell marking that say "Heaven won't take me and Hell is afraid I'll take over."
Man that Nutmeg is one bad mothe-
Watch your mouth
Hey I'm just talking bout nutmeg.

Nutmeg was a lettuce-eating tortie, lord, lord.
