I’m building steam for a second career. Do we know anyone at Cosmo or Readers Digest?

We're embarking on this mission for a couch right now. I saw that one cushion was from Etsy. Did you have it custom ordered? I'm cushion curious.

That one was from an Etsy shop called LinenSpace. Pretty happy with it. I've tried a couple of other vendors and both were lousy. I'll stick with trying to find local folks from now on.

Who ARE you? Stunt driving AND tortoise work, what a combo!

Ha. Thanks. The unacknowledged irony of the pairing is that aggressive off-roading is as much a threat to the tortoise as the ravens are. There are also a number of race tracks, and car manufacturer proving grounds, in the area that the tortoise biologists do work at. So it’s not *the best* investment with tortoise funds. But what can you do?

I will sew cushions for you Jeff! And upholster everything. Just want some footage of your stunt driving in return!
