Duck- Roy is a Senegal Parrot that DD has had for years. If he doesn't stop chewing his leg off eventually she has to make the call to PTS. I really dread that day. Collar is new option from unliked vet- favorite vet didn't want to do it.

Washington power outages affected snake-keepers, too. Cold snakes puked up their dinners- natural defense when not warm enough to digest. Sounds minor, but is treated as a semi-emergency since they lose all the gut flora.

Great pics, X! Glad you are having fun!

Oh, Duck- DD is married v happily with 2.5y son. (I have Zee in one hand- using abbreviations.)

Latest animal news- a friend calls, wants to bring me a box turtle who was found wandering a construction site when he should be brumating. Ok- I'll see how he looks, and probably put him in with Fagalo to finish off the winter then release. Well, new guy has an upper resp infec, so is in iso in my bathtub, and needs to be 90F, but how, and needs vet visit for antibiotics- I can afford that like a hole in the head...But if I did as BF suggests and dump him off- he endangers wild population, as well as won't find food/water/hibernaculum. They don't do well when habitat is destroyed, only 40% chance of survival in new location...Just what I need.

It's so warm here- went on 4 hour motorcycle trip yesterday to winery in St. Augustine. I didn't get anything :-( But it was fun.

Craze- well done! How was it?

Just went on the net to check whether Elephant Appreciation Day was Sep. 21 or 22 (it's 22) and found this calendar site:

Did you know that yesterday, Dec. 16 was Barbie and Barney Backlash Day? It was also, and in a more positive vein, National Chocolate-Covered Anything Day (US only, I gather). So, Trek, did you and Knot go out and get anything chocolate-covered? If not, then perhaps a belated celebration today is in order.

We had lunch with Bikerz, Mellisam. Spazzdog and Theresa (non TD'er, imagine that!) at Sauls

Knott picked up some chocolate covered halva which we're having now with coffee....and working on a good healthy breakfast.

Bmo3, if you want your house cleaned invite Knott over and give her waaaaay too much good coffee....my kitchen is clean yeah, I've been training...that's the ticket.

We had a great time at lunch, and I enjoyed seeing Trak and Spazz again, and meeting Knot and Teresa. I was, unfortunately, pretty distracted because just moments before everyone showed up I realized I had lost my wallet somewhere with 3 blocks of where we met in downtown Berkeley, with $100 cash, business and personal credit cards, my drivers license, etc. And just before the holidays. Oh, I was so mad! Spazzdog and Mel hunted around a bit while Trek and Knot were parking, but no luck.

But, this morning I got a message at work that my wallet had been found 2 towns away in front of a yoga studio! Yay! Everything was present and accounted for (except the $100), and according to the CC companies, there have been no charges on any of my cards. Whew! I feel like I dodged a major PITA experience there. And now my friends and family do get Christmas presents after all!

ETA: Whoops - just noticed my business credit card is missing, but I put a hold on it yesterday, so there's only that one to deal with.

This is Knott, too lazy to change from Trek's login to my own:
BikerZ, we are both SOOOO glad your wallet was found!! Two towns away at a yoga studio? Namaste! And only the money was taken, well, money being taken does s*ck, but it could've been ugly. What a relief!

And yes, parking took us a while...

Happy 2nd night of Chanukah, y'all!

[kelownagirl]

So you and Trek have been parking huh?

[Trek420]

This is Trek

Yes, holiday traffic is horrid here, horrid I tell you. It takes so long to park, we parked at Trader Joes, in Berkeley, at the beach, Pescadero, the dog park, BART station, at Half Moon Bay...

Popping in this morning to say hello before I get ready for company to arrive.

X-you posted the pic I asked you not to even take. Action shot of me leaning forward to talk. Nice pics of PA and OH.

CC-Great pics of you from the tri. CONGRATULATIONS
on the completion of your tri.
You will see Kit again soon.

Nanci- I never thought of how power owtages could affect snakes, wow. Thanks for the info. Good luck with the newest tortoise.

I was meaning to post a pic of X's bike and her new jeep last night, but I was too tired. Enjoy!

Had a long day yesterday, started in the wee hours, ended in...uh... the wee hours...

BMo3- Trying not to embrace the inner slug today. The hours yesterday combined with discrepancies between my watch and the actual, real time have me thrown a little. You folks on EST have it all wrong. Hate to say it...

X- riding w/o a helmet?! For shame! What would I do if you crashed? After laughing, that is. Not like I can be there to scoop your crashed azz off the pavement...

CC- Alive and well. Y'all will see more of me soon, guaranteed. I doubt some ladies around here would have it any other way...

Thanks to everyone for your hugs and thoughts... it means so much more than I can really say. (((TD)))

[Bikingmomof3]

Stomping my foot impatiently.....this is as good as I am going to look. The waiting could kill me!! Do you know what time it is? Half the day is gone.

[Xrayted]

CC - great pics yourself. Wow!! I love your bike too.

mimi - that is honestly the only time I've ridden my bike without a helmet. cross my heart (and fingers)

Salsa - so glad you're relatively ok and posting again.

Bruno - nice to see you back. nice pic there too.

BMo3 - don't ya stomp your little foot at me young lady! Sorry to wear you out like that. I had a lovely time with you and your family yesterday. As you know, when I left last night, I had a very special package to pickup at the airport for you. I'll be over as soon as possible with your special delivery. (did you know it talks and everything? non-stop. I gotta feed it too. Dang. )

Kit - oh you just wait 'til I get my hands on you! C'mon over here ya smartazz!

[Bikingmomof3]

Still waiting....
