#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.

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.

"Though it took him nearly a century, the 90-year-old #RadiatedTortoise known as Mr. Pickles is finally a #dad.
"The #HoustonZoo announced on Thursday that he and his partner, 53-year-old Mrs. #Pickles, recently welcomed three #tortoise hatchlings: #Dill, #Gherkin and #Jalapeño."

"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."
