Stopped in at Exotic Pets here in Billings and picked up a new heater , a bunch of Hornwort , a little Water Sprite and six common feeder guppies at 50 cents a pop . I’m going to start a guppy colony .
What are you doing today?

Aren't common guppies uncommon these days ?

Our pet store has feeder guppies that are surprisingly pretty! The Badgerling was really into them for a while, and I had a few that lived in the dentist's tank for several years.

Merry Christmas all!
Christmas eve morning, and I have a wet dog fragrant pup sleeping on my foot. Outside, there's a beautiful snowstorm, and I could hear the waves breaking on the rocky beach as we walked at 6 this morning. We scared a deer and it huff-cursed at us, scroogelike in the cedars. I could vaguely see the bright lights on the tankers and bulk carriers anchored out in the bay. I always wonder at the lives of the sailors out there in the cold on the sea at this time of year. It must be tough.
Outside, it's all noise and wind and surf, and it was a treat to step inside to warmth and Christmas tree lights. The family's asleep and the dark rich coffee I just made is perfection.
Later, when the sun's up , I'll hop in the car and crash some small snowdrifts to hit one more store. I have to shop on Christmas Eve because I'm a man. It's what we do. All I need is a small box of chocolates for a stocking, but it had to be left to the last possible moment. Traditions die hard.
We're through the winter solstice and the days will get longer. It won't be a spectacular sunrise with the heavy snow falling, but we're getting there. It looks like I'll have to dig my way to the fishroom though.

Today is my birthday . Today I am sixty nine years old . Today I will indulge all my idiosyncrasies , quirks and interests in celebration of all things uniquely me . It is also a day to reflect on the unhappy fact that I have outlived several close friends who didn’t make it to this age . As much as I like being older and retired I do not enjoy seeing old friends and comrades go under the turf and it seems more do with each passing year .

man, 69 isn't old. I know how you feel about loosing friends. we lost 3 in one week last month. about the only thing you can do is try to stay as healthy as possible and exercise. we only eat at home now and watch preservatives and drink a lot of water. the Bow Flex has been my friend for the last 25 years!
Happy birthday young man. Have a great day. My birthday is next month and I am a few years closer than you to the metamorphosis of flesh into spirit. Each day is a blessing, not only birthdays.

I was always glad that my birthday is in June, for that very reason. I've got a few years to go before I catch up with you though.
