    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site.

    I decided to try out my new Pentax Kx DSLR camera on my male Yellow Ackie, and he was extreamly curious as to what exactly this thing was that I was presenting to him. I got what I think is some nice close up video of him :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bn6RjJ0WtDE

    "The Lizard King" (Hamburg PA's public debut in the NY post)!

    This was published in the NY post on Aug 3, 2008 (one day after the Hamburg PA show). It's not a good thing IMO. The author probably knows nothing about reptiles as usual. http://www.nypost.com/seven/08032008/postopinion/postopbooks/the_lizard_king_122755.htm?page=2 [/i]
