COLD DARK ROOM

Hopefully Indy (Indominus) will develop a great affinity for a certain Lady in Red... When she's old enough, that is.

It will probably be several months before we introduce them in person. Otherwise... Australia is a lizard-eat-lizard world, and we don't want him deciding she's an entree.

We want a female Zero (white, no visual pattern / markings) to breed, as well. The breeder won't have any that are safely compatible with Indy's genetics until next spring or early summer. So we may be adding a little white lady dragon next year.

Soooo, when you breed and get baby dragons, do you sell or are you developing your own Magic Kingdom with a glutton of dragons? Keep the pix coming.

Interesting Factoid: San Francisco Airport will as of today stop selling bottled water (in plastic containers) in an effort to cut down on waste by 2021. Reportedly, SFO sells about 10,000 plastic bottles of water PER DAY! wow... They are installing hydration stations to encourage folks to use and refill their own reusable bottles. Travelers be ware.

News clip - San Francisco International Airport is rolling out a ban to end the sale of plastic water bottles at its convenience stores, restaurants and vending machines. The ban, which begins on Tuesday, is part of the airport's latest effort to become the world's first zero-waste airport by 2021

I hope many others worldwide will follow suit.

I know. Producers of such products just have to scale back.

They should at least monitor the situation!

We will become a small scale, family-owned/operated breeder of bearded dragons. The young biped who conspired with me to get our first bearded dragon last year knows what he wants to produce, and we choosing dragons accordingly. He's had the name of the future business determined for quite some time now, as well as the CEO (company president). I'm almost surprised he hasn't asked to become a LLC for his upcoming birthday. Maybe he's holding off until Christmas...

It will be interesting to see what the first generation of offspring look like, but there will not be any visual Witblits or Zeros until the second generation.

I loved that news story. It shows lots more people are really wanting to actually help our planet. Krogers is going to phase out the grocery bags too. Time to buy reusable water bottles and shopping bags or baskets. (If you haven't already.)

Good mornooning, roommates! I was having coffee in the backyard and got run over by a gang of black squirrels. They stole my almond cookies and then escaped using electric wires. Total nut jobs! Is that a normal sight for North America or is it just Ottawa? I have a break in my freelance work, so it’s a housework day.

It's actually normal squirrel stuff. The little theives...there's a whole market out there for squirrel proofing bird feeders etc...

I need to catch up myself first.

We're most certainly not going to catch up... I have to stop when my phone dies or my eyes can't see anymore. We'll see it when you are able.

Ogh no Ellie Mae...

Computer systems in 23 Texas towns have been hacked and held for ransom in a coordinated cyberattack. Officials say they are racing to bring systems back online.

Which is why I bought these US squirrel proof feeders. They even make dishwashable wasp and bee-proof hummingbird feeders!

Hummer feeders look good. I could use a few that keep the darn ants away.

I have a picture from my honeymoon in Bora Bora with one of the native island residents using my shirt as a pathway... I’ll have to search it out on the desktop... I remember he was a little thing and not scared of me at all!

Nearer the time, I’ll ensure it’s available to those that need it. I’ve messaged it to you now

I signed up but it wouldn't allow "Yvonne G" or "Yvonne" or "EvenGomer". So I had to choose a username that I'll never in a million years remember. If you recognize me, please let me know what my new username is, as I forgot to write it down.

Black squirrels?? Not so normal here. We have a few, but true blacks are rare!! Need a picture)

Yipes! I just went to instagram and my friend Google pulled up an account that I must've made a lot time ago. It says I'm Even Gomer or @gomereven. Hm-m-m. Now I wonder what the one I made today is.

LOL!!!! I have never had an Instagram account though I’m guilty of forgetting many other things.. I figured I would make my daughter follow so I could see the travels
