Your father and I spatted over that -- my take is, if you're going to
do a job, then do the entire job and do it right. But you are the
Master of Your Own Fate, and I will be saddened to hear of your being
burned to a cinder in the wreckage of your car. <he grins> Your
father was one hell of an innovative fellow and I admired him
greatly, even if he kept calling the serial number the
'VIN'. California gibberish. <he grins again>
Ah, the Pep Boys. Mannie, Moe, and Jack. I named the Mud Turtle I
hatched from an egg, 'Moe'. That was back in '82, in a different
universe, long ago and far away. The standard Mud Turtle lives for
five to ten years in the wild and, perhaps, fifteen when under proper
care. Moe is still with us and is still nasty as hell. Aetate 31
and hanging hard and tough. He is the Sunbeam Alpine of the Turtle
World. (I have a lot more turtle tales to tell, especially as I keep
my back lawn mowed through the services of two Sulcata Tortoises.)
Be well, Jay
