So I was visiting my hometown of Thousand Oaks, CA (So Cal) a couple weekends ago, and the political signs are up, and I see one that reads "Ed Jones - City Council." Ed Jones was Mayor of Thousand Oaks in 1970 when I first moved to T.O. And Ed was on the City Council for many years afterward. Now, 40+ years later, at the age of 83, he's running for Thousand Oaks City Council again.

So, when I picked up my tortoise at emysemys place in Clovis, it seemed like it would be just perfect to name him Ed Jones -- after the former mayor and city councilman in my home town of Thousand Oaks.

Meet Ed Jones.

He has a very self-satisfied look about him.
