My pet turtle told me it's all downhill after 175...
Sad. One less connection to the past.
He's almost the Zelig of the tortoise world. Sad!
A "slow post day" at Althouse is capped by an item about a tortoise. Some Fridays are like that.

Tortoise rigor mortis.
Damn, we need a single payer plan to prevent this happening in the future. Plays right into Democrat healthcare themes.
R.I.P.
