COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

Thanks. But I'm good.
After the surgery, my heart was doing some strange things that concerned me. But it is a little better now and I'm assuming that all will be just fine.
I return to work tomorrow, too.

It'll probably do you good to get back into a routine.
One day at a time!
You'll be fine.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Dashing out for a while; will check back in later.

Oooooooooooooooohhhhhh, you've escaped again!

I have a goal to hit every National Park in the lower 48 states. I have a map with pushpins and everything I'm feeling inspired by John and Adam meeting up and may decide to pop in on forum members in some of the further away places. Half the forum seems to live in Texas, Arizona, and California

They've had some meet ups before.
But it's a jolly big country!

 

[ZEROPILOT]

Maybe we could do regional meet and greets?
My two motorcycle groups do this.

True. Takes days to drive across. I'll have to pay attention to the meetups. The only thing that comes to mind is mentions of various reptile shows, but I'm not really into those. I like the idea of visiting zoos and preserves more than tables with animals packaged like vegetables.

I concur.
Wouldn't like those reptile shows, I don't suppose.

There are many, many members within an hours drive of me and of the 3 or 4 that I've met...They are all very nice folks. But none of us have ever decided to meet up just for lunch,etc.
Not just anyone is an instant friend. I mean not the kind that you might enjoy driving a few thousand miles just to see and spend some time with. Some of us seem to have a friendly chemistry with each other.
Some of these friendships will be lasting ones.

Not just anyone is an instant friend. I mean not the kind that you might enjoy driving a few thousand miles just to see and spend some time with because there is a friendly chemistry that some us all already have with each other.

But there are some people I just know would be worth the trip.
Proved it once and hopefully will prove it again!

I'm sure that you and I would be lasting friends even if we never meet.
But somehow, I think that we will.
And you're about the farthest away.

 

[Prairie Mom]

You two are making me all warm and fuzzy about the tortoise forum

I think you're right.
And America's moving ever further away.

Good, there's some really splendid warm and fuzzy people here, Chrissy.
And I'm pretty sure you're one of 'em.

You're too kind. And I do agree. Some very likeable people 'round here

Ya, except those that've met me didn't know it.

So under what circumstances did you meet up with these folks?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

^--------Not sure what you mean?

Continental drift.
As the Mid-Atlantic Ridge widens,the Americas drift imperceptibly further away from Eurasia/Africa every year.

Good evening, Cameron.
