Something a little different.
Throughout my legal career, I have always focused on scientific matters and emerging technology. And, I have two sons who are both life science majors. So most flat surfaces in our house, i.e., kitchen counters, are usually treated as lab space.
Our most recent science experiment is three baby Sulcata Tortoises given to us by a neighbor who has six of the 100+ lb monsters roaming her backyard, breeding indiscriminately and laying hatches of eggs.
It turns out that Sulcata's do very well here in the Valley and can be kept outside all year as long as they have a hide for the cold months. In fact, several large adults have been found living well in the Sonoran Desert, where they are considered a potential invasive species.
These guys will spend the winter in my study and then to their own pen in the backyard.
Have a good Sunday!
