Hmmmm, does your neighbor have an extra room? I am desperate here. Also,
does he have any large and dangerous animals?

Speaking of animals, I must find a home for my tortoise. It just
wouldn't be right to take her to that environment.

There ya go, dissing my poodle mug. This is a very rare and coveted
item, you won't find two in one place. The prize was also for the free
shipping only, I would never let this thing go for free.

There is one person watching it, out of horror more than anything else,
I imagine. It is one of the more hideous things I have ever listed.

Still, an old coffee mug with the logo from a company that I worked at
in the early 1990's got almost $27.00 last night, so ya never know. I'll
take a tankful of gas over an old coffee mug any day.

"Grace Under Pressure" was a fantastic tour. Favorite band for 28 years
now, heard them at age 9 and never looked back. I did not know that they
had a new one coming out.

It is funny, a lot of people don't even know who they are, but they were
tied with KISS for the #3 spot on gold record sales, behind The Rolling
Stones and The Beatles. With one release and another coming up since
then, I imagine that they have or will take the #3 spot.

You may just have a point there. I also wonder about my friend's stock
Audi turbo. How about that Mazdaspeed Miata going through the mountains?

Are these people just screwed when they hit high altitudes? I am
doubting it. Still, I will see what I can find out.

This one does not hibernate and they come from an arid climate. This is
a Sulcata. (African Spurred Tortoise). Transporting her is also a
problem, she is 7 pounds and growing rapidly.

Also, I will be here another 57 years or so, assuming that I am lucky
and that there are no major medical advances advancing our lifespan to
further overpopulate the planet.

With proper care, she could still be here in the year 2150. That creates
a potential problem, though not my problem. She would also weigh at
least 150 pounds at that point, the males can hit 45 pounds in just 15
years and can grow as large as 240 pounds. :-)

Thank you. I'll sleep better tonight knowing that.

Houston! Oh man, I thought she was an Austinite! My bad. You just never know
about those Miata flatlander women ;-) And hey, don't EVER call Austin
flatland again, what would that make Houston?
