yamamanamaSam has "vivo per lei" tattooed on her wrist.
I've never seen the spelling Maegan before but it exists, apparently.
Amy had feathers in her hair from goose manhandling earlier in the week and nobody told her. This goose and the gull made things incredibly difficult for everyone.
Zack dropped one of our new helmets. "It works," Tiffany triumphantly proclaimed.
We have a pipe near the window propped up with the couch; I think we're using it to grow beans. I say propped up but it was tilting over. Aliann said she saw Jess walk up and hit the pipe.
You can buy dandelion seeds, for when your enemy has a perfect lawn you want to ruin. Or if you want to eat dandelion leaves, I guess. They can be consumed raw or cooked like spinach and they have a diuretic effect. I don't know why anyone who actually wants dandelions would need them. You can't ever not have dandelions everywhere.
The flicker got out and flew just fine.
The swan is almost ready to be released.
The gull has both lead poisoning and rodenticide poison, because they're scavengers.
Tiffany says that the goose got shot and then noticed some bullets that missed him and he's like "here, let me get those for you."
Sloths are slowly vicious, according to Tiffany who petted one at a sketchy place out in the desert somewhere.
The sloth in the video is Romeo, who hangs out at a sloth sanctuary and tries to cross the road to mate with the captive sloths. I can't imagine sloths mating but I'd imagine it's like anything else except in slow motion. Sloths move like they're in a bubble of distorted spacetime. As far as they're concerned, they're walking around normally. To us, it just looks like the video is at half speed.
Gabrielle, who has purple hair and a beardie named Chomper and a pendant depicting a silver rose in a silver heart and an upside down obelisk made from a brown gem of some sort and also some facial piercings, says that opossums look like giant ferrets and once rescued a baby squirrel she found on her porch after a rainstorm and nursed it back to health with a hair dryer and kept it near a heater and fed it puppy formula. Just until someone could come and get it, I mean.
Unlike Gabriella, she does have to share her name with a character in a Tom Kratman novel.
We should be getting opossums soon and everyone thought there would be raccoons by now.
A tree fell on the wildlife center's driveway and Zack and Matt are taking a chainsaw to it, and gave bits of it to the goats to play with, so the goats weren't interested in Gabrielle.
Lisa is a 17 year old chinchilla with messed up teeth.
Tilly and Cleo were back.
we have a Russian tortoise named Leonardo. He's shy and Matt has never seen him eat.
Zack is getting a tattoo of a hammerhead shark so I suggested dunkleosteus, and he thought about a dinosaur but I say no, he should stick with an aquatic theme.
Maybe a lunaspis or an asterosteus or galeaspid. Or a stethacanthus for the hammerhead to bang himself against.
We had to clean out some cages for the squirrels. We couldn't find a metal basin for one of the cages but Tiffany did find a couple of soaking bins that needed to have the literal and figurative shit nolvasaned out of them.
"this is a squirrel mansion" vs "squirrel trailer park" and they can stick their "stupid little squirrel heads" in there.
Tiffany mentioned more snow but she has no idea if there's going to be more snow.
I'm seeing conflicting forecasts, all of them coldish. Let me put it this way: the last time it was above 80° F in April was 2012. It has only been above 70° F in April three times since then and not at all in 2015. There's three periods of seasonal depression in a year, all of them different: the end of daylight savings time; that period of spring where winter's chill lingers indefinitely; and the aestival solstice, when you look back and realized that you squandered spring and then realize that there weren't any nice days to squander.
burning question: If April showers bring May flowers, what do April snowstorms bring? I say depression.
