All of the sudden, it's rainy and cold!
Cold for here. It's 66.
But it's supposed to get into the lower 50s tonight. So I've got to get the tortoises inside. The bins are NOT ready.
This was not expected.
Last Christmas it was like 82 degrees.

Good morning, Bea. :)
Hope that Jacques eats something today. :tort:

Thank you, Adam!
She ate a tiny shred of salmon and left the rest. Has been sleeping in the warm end of her tank this morning. I see that as good for 2 reasons: it’s warmer under her heat lamp and that’s the end of the tank where her accident occurred. I’m glad she wasn’t so traumatized that she would never go in that end of her tank again.
Fingers crossed for a full recovery!

Hopefully it'll only last a day or two.

Indeed.
It's good she ate a little and excellent she is at the accident end.
I'm sure she'll be fine, but we can't help but worry.

Scary story about Jacque for sure....things sound like we're set for a fully recovered turtle. Yeah.

Cold in Florida....and colder here in Md too. Snow continues, ground covered, streets still clear. Ive topped up the squirrel feeders.....they seem to gobble up the sunflower seeds at a rate 10x faster than the Jays, Cardinals, Nuthatch...etc.

Ok, Adam. Now, I want you to take a few deep breaths and settle yourself down before you look at the picture I'm going to post.
One of our local grocery stores, Aquistapace's, is famed for its VERY extensive wine and cheese selections. They ordered the LARGEST WHEEL OF CHEESE in the state of Louisiana from a cheese maker in Wisconsin. The wheel weighs in excess of 3500 lbs (which is more than 1500 kg, I think?). They have it standing in their store to draw attention to the cheese cutting held in a few days. It's almost 2 meters tall and actually started to lean a bit, so they had to reinforce it by building a sort of half-barrel around it. It's supposed to be a very nice cheese!

Luckily, I was sitting down and prepared for this.
Even so, i feel quite faint, now.
i wonder if they could ship it to me when they've finished with it!
Yuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)
It's also got a sort of fossil reference, "mammoth".
Ideal.
Thanks for posting, Bea. :D:<3:
