Once I dangled a garden hose in front of one and it bit it clean through! Sorry dad, the turtle bit the brand new hose in half ... anyway, I used to live in mortal fear one would bite me in those freshwater or brackish lakes. The Connecticut River was especially thick with them in places such as north of Old Lyme.Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06904821424581969401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10291496.post-1157652435855999472006-09-07T11:07:00.000-07:002006-09-07T11:07:00.000-07:00Now PapaBeare, Ex-Man is from the Dallas area and ...Now PapaBeare, Ex-Man is from the Dallas area and it gets a wee bit below 38 a few days a year, in spite of all this Global Smarmy, I mean warming. The reason I like this SPI place is that the plumeria can stay in the ground - although even that can be a challenge because I noticed all of them up in Los Fresnos died in that winter storm of 2004-2005 when it snowed.<BR/><BR/>But you must admit, Ila's story was cool and turtles are cool. The author of it sent me a message saying it was important to get the word out ... see ya around, Beare!Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06904821424581969401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10291496.post-1157638497527410352006-09-07T07:14:00.000-07:002006-09-07T07:14:00.000-07:00Sam, When exactly will the temps get below 38?? ...Sam,<BR/> <BR/> When exactly will the temps get below 38?? I havent seen anything around the island below 38 in such a long time!! Gas is over $2.28, sadly my waste line is over 38 and for sure the temps have been over 38 forever.

The Sea Turt...I forget exactly how many years ago. The Sea Turtle Inc. has raised about 150k for new dig during our recent fundraiser, one of the few I actually do. They are doing quite well, as well as the station at the Rancho beach in Mexico. <BR/><BR/>The white plumeria is the most hearty, and is a symbol of purity. Get them in before the temps fall below 38!<BR/>/SamSamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06904821424581969401noreply@blogger.com
