Turtle lovers, I have had absolutely nothing to say about turtles for several weeks, and for that I apologize. Whilst maintaining the reptilian current events on The Basking Spot my idea for a blog was borne; it seemed that there were always interesting, harrowing, or infuriating news of turtles and tortoises such as the news we hear of developers burying tortoises alive ... yes, mainly that one. I can recall wanting to fume about that nearly every day and thinking, "if only this forum were more like a blog I could go postal all over this," but as it turned out it's just not something I have the energy for every day. Going postal. It takes a lot out of me.

So here it is, well into the first month of 2007, the year of the turtle over and done, and I felt the need to pop in and reassure you that a human being does actually live here.

In fact, this human being has finally gotten the chance to start reading Timothy, or Notes of an Abject Reptile, on which I blogged back on 10/25/06. Thank you, Amazon.com wish list!

(No, that is not shameless self promotion, that was merely self indulgence. If I had linked HERE it would have been self promotion.)

So hopefully there will be some fantastic tortoise news in the near future that will inspire me to blog poetic. In the meanwhile, I continue to read Timothy's tale.
