    Oops, you’re absolutely right, I grabbed the wrong photo. Fixed. Pretty funny that that you can have a photo decades later than you thought and you can’t tell by the animal in it, but by the technology in the background!

      Heh. I just spent half a minute squinting the dark trees in the background, looking for the outline of a car. I didn’t realise the picture was swapped.

      That is definitely funny. I was just thinking, “How many fads and fashions has this one tortoise seen in his life?”

        Older than the association of the color pink with girls, and blue with boys.
