#GreatAlbums1990s – #Tortoise - #MillionsNowLivingWillNeverDie (1996). A sort of rock musician’s equivalent to jazz, Millions is widely touted as the ur-text of post rock. Alumni of Gastr del Sol and Slint collaborated on this moody excursion into audio landscape.

Today, I met another box #turtle. He was on the other side if the fence, but I sat down and had a conversation with him, and he seemed to be enjoying his #leaves and having a #good time.
My neighbor saw me making this video, and immediately brought out his leaf blower and ruined the rest of the turtle's day.

Today, i stopped traffic on my neighborhood, by holdng up my hand like a traffic cop. The guy in front was pretty angry about it...
until he realized that i was picking up a #turtle that was crossing the road. Then he couldn't thank me enough.
The lesson, i think, is that #people are usually #good and #friendly, even when they seem at first not to be.
(P.s. /Terrapene carolina/, not a #tortoise. Don't start that with me.)
EDIT: Added photo from my dash cam.

"Archaeologists in Pompeii have discovered the remains of a pregnant tortoise that had sought refuge in the ruins of a home destroyed by an earthquake in 62 AD, only to be covered by volcanic ash and rock when Mount Vesuvius erupted 17 years later."
