Georgi Girl - 2026

 

There used to be a time that summer in NY meant seeing the GEORGI Vodka ads on the backs of buses. Some years back some groups had them removed and had laws passed to prevent booze ads on city property. Fast forward a bunch of years and the booze ads are GONE, but you can find THC ads all over.

Turtle Thursday: The Family

Since yesterday was Silent Bob's 21st birthday, I am featuring a turtle family. When you have a pet, you rarely get to see the parents.

 

This is Lava, a female Dark Phased Texas Diamondback Terrapin.

 

This is Spike, a male Dark Phased Texas Diamondback Terrapin.

 

This is their "baby" Silent Bob, at about two years old.
Can you see the resemblance?
