    @warmjellyfish When were you at Kennedy Space Center? Did you work there?

    You're doing great @tarun_yadavA . Thanks for the sloth pictures. They are such interesting creatures. I'll be on pins and needles until I hear about your safari experience. Wow. That does sound scary and, I must say, in that first picture, you look pretty scary yourself. LOL I'm not a snakes and spiders person, so that would have been a hard no from the get go for me. I'm glad you made it out alive with a tale to tell.

    Nice running @Teresa502 . and you are welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed the race report.

    Great run @kgirlhart !

    Welcome back @chris_in_cal !!! And Merry Christmas! We missed you!

    @tarun_yadavA Snakes and spiders is what everyone wanted to see? Let me guess, your wife passed on the night safari? At least you all made it back to tell the tale :).

    Saw everything but glad to be alive

    Was the guide named Crazy Carlos by chance? We had one that latched on to us as we were hiking. In the end he took us to a beautiful waterfall, some lunch spot and we ended up giving him a ride to his house at the end of the day. Glad it all worked out well for you all also!

    Nah it was just a tourist trip. Early 2000s I think. Loved the exhibits and launch pads they had plus one particular amusement ride which was the shuttle launch. It really had you on your back like the real shuttle. The shuttle was still in ops then. Would love to go back to visit.

    64.77/80 mile goal

    I got up early to cook the breakfast casserole I made for mom, William (my neighbor) and me for Christmas morning. After I got it in the oven, I went down for a mile walk on the treadmill.

    I had planned to run, but my back was bothering me this morning. I could barely walk when I first got up. I think I hurt it by wrapping presents while sitting in the floor yesterday afternoon. It didn't hurt until I got up from the piano bench at church last night. It took a catch and then again when walking last night. I could feel it being tight, so sat on the heating pad last night.

    Fortunately, it feels near normal tonight, so I'm hoping I'll be back to my old self tomorrow. I think it is odd that wrapping gifts would do it since I sit in the floor at daycare all the time and am okay, but that has to be what it was.

    The casserole was good and then mom and I went to my Aunt's for a late lunch with her and my other aunt and a friend. It was good too. Way too much food though.

    I'm taking care of the neighbor's animals while they are gone on a long vacation. They have chickens and a rooster that is mean to the kids. I've been watching him, but he hasn't even acted like he was going to "attack" me...that is until today. I was in their pen and felt something, looked, and the little sucker had got me with his talons! He tried a couple more times, but I swished him away with a bucket. I may have to have chicken for dinner before they get back. :wink:

    Chicken attack results. It's the side and back of my leg, so hard to get a good picture.

    Overall, I had a great day. I hope everyone else had a Merry Christmas also.

    Nice run @SummerSkier ! I hope you enjoyed your day. hahaha about the catnip.

    Great run @Teresa502 .

    @WarmJellyfish I've been on that ride. It's very jarring, if I recall correctly. I'm sure the real thing is worse.

    Nice run @Laurz9191 . I think we need a picture. :lol:
