We got on the bus up to the plant & pet market in the north of the city - a four and a half hour round trip - and got a lamp (made in China, exported to Canada, imported back to China, reflected in the price tag) and a larger tank with built-in dry dock.
Michelle, however, hadn't been able to hold on for the slow bus and the Zhengzhou rush-hour traffic. So, Barack's all alone right now; he's got a nice, new, bigger home and fancy UV lamp though, and is looking much perkier and healthier. Picture shortly, when he does something interesting enough to photograph.
We'll certainly hold off on getting another for the time being- perhaps a Sarko, or Dave. Actually, Anna says we can't have any rightist turtles, or any "cheating, lying, conniving, evil sons of watchmenow Lib-scummy-Dems". I think those were her words.
Out of respect, I'd like to take a moment of silence.
