Today is Tues (I'm a little late). I have some school work to do, buy a few presents for my daughter who turns 18 tomorrow (yikes!), and drive my 16yo daughter to her lyra aerial class tonight.

Lyra aerial class? What's that?
I'm in San Francisco today visiting for a little while. It's nice and sunny here.

My ballerina is running away to join the circus :) She has taken her ballet training to silks and lyra (hoop) work, suspended from the ceiling.

Josh, this may seem like a weird question, but is it easy to find sweet tea out west? Its going to suck if I get to Phoenix and can't find good sweet tea anywhere.

Hmmm sweet tea... Funny you ask cause I never drink the stuff (I prefer unsweetened) but I just bought Trader Joe's sweet tea and I like it! I don't know what constitutes good sweet tea but I bet cold drink variations won't be in short supply during Arizona summers.

So I did something interesting today, My fiance and I went to a reptile club meeting where they did a live demo of how to safely catch and relocate rattle snakes. They had the "hots" there on site and you got to move one from the enclosure to the safety bucket if you wanted to, Thankfully it all went smoothly and none of the snakes got aggressive. But they are trying to get the word out on calling a rescue out to help with relocating them because in our area animal control is sadly instructed to "kill onsite"....
Anyway the highlight for me was I got another T, I felt really bad for him he is an adult male (yet rather scrawny) Rose-hair Red color form "RCF" and he is missing one of his back legs.

Today I spent a few hours cleaning my various animal enclosures, sent one of my foster rats off to their forever home, grabbed dinner with my partner and parents, and then went bowling. It was a pretty good day!

The storm was pretty nice to watch...if i wa sout in the U.S i would be one those storm chasers you see on the documetries I think.

Just googled the tort. nice! (not a shelled man myself but nice!) Hog WOW :) kudos, I miss my snakes, only have 2 royal pythons and a corn now.along with the beardie, 3 tropical fishtanks and G.Rosea and Axylotl

I used to have 14 Corns ranging from new borns to 8 year olds, Adult female Boa, Hognose and Lavender albino kingsnake, then I had berberskinks, 3 leopard geckos, 2 Asain water dragons, tiger salamander..alot the collection had to go tho due to work commitments and not being able to devote the time i knew deep down they needed.
