It's been over a month since my last post. Nothing of interest has been happening here during that time. Mostly I've been in all-day meetings and conference calls. No matter how hard I try, there's not much I can do to make that sound interesting. After several consecutive days of this, I finally decided to take a couple vacation days to unwind. Today I went out to clean up the yard. Usually this means picking up lots of twigs and branches that fell during some of the more lively winter storms.


Today I found a guest - a Spotted Turtle. Turtles seem to like our yard. Twice, I've found box turtles laying eggs in the back yeard. Once I found a beautiful Wood Turtle. Unfortunately that was in the days before digital cameras, and I never was big on film.

Can I convince this human that there's nobody home?

Another discovery I made was what appears to be a piece of jaw. I assume it was a jaw because there were some teeth still stuck to it. I have no clue what species it belongs to. I hope there are some paleontologists out there who will be able to help. Perhaps this is a previously unknown species. I assume that someone will be able to reconstruct the rest of the skeleton and make a drawing of the actual animal, based upon this fragment. I'll keep you all posted if I find any other bits of this creature.
