Our wings are not tired.

Last night I was able to see a green sea turtle lay her eggs, cover them up, and return to the ocean. No photos because tourists are not allowed to bring anything that casts any light at all, but it was indescribable.

Awesome! I've never caught them in action. We had a record season for turtles this year. A number of my friends have been posting hatchings in Fort Lauderdale currently. Watching the scores of baby turtles scrambling to the ocean is just blissful. It takes a couple months to hatch and we had an abundance of roped off areas the last few months.

See me not shedding any tears over Lindsey. Still waiting for the other not-so-cute turtle news.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

What a lovely morning.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Jesu, Lindsay Graham died unexpectedly.

That which does not kill you should RUN

Jesu, Lindsay Graham died unexpectedly.

He did it to shame McConnell's team into telling the truth.

It's a good day for memes.

Thrive to spite them

Matthew joked he was going to start a new conspiracy theory that Graham and McConnell were secretly in love or it was one sided on Graham's part and the distress of McConnell being left in this limbo caused a heart attack.

Also I saw someone on Facebook call McConnell Schrodinger's Senator.

That's amazing, Jess!

Yes, Graham is not the one I had my money on, but...

Punishingly Intricate

Jess, the turtle experience sounds magical!

I ended up having to go to the emergency department yesterday because my suture bandage came up when I was changing my upper bandage. Got it fixed up and was home within 90 minutes but still disconcerting.

Ugh, good that they got you in and out.
