When I was growing up, for some reason I always wanted a turtle… My father had apparently promised me one at some stage, and I never did actually get one… Not sure why I wanted a turtle, but I guess I thought they just would have been a cute pet. I have not thought about turtles as pets for years… I suspect that the last time I even talked to my father about this was when I was about 7 or 8…

So, why am I bringing this up now, given than I am not 7 or 8 any more? Well, I was reading a www site and they referred to a shop online selling special need turtles. That is, these turtles are blind. Turtles are smart and being blind is not too hard for them once they adapt to their surroundings aparently.

I am not sure that I would want a blind turtle, but the idea certainly did intrigue me. I never thought about them having problems like that. And I think that if I ever do get a turtle though it will be a normally sighted version.

I have some programming to do today… Speedup’s in my TeamTrack software mainly… And make it more ‘threaded’. I have some ideas on how to do this, but some learning might be involved too… We will need to see how it goes…
