Sometimes...

I think it's amazing just how much trust Ed has in his humans. He overbalanced his tree branch & toppled over, & of course me & Rob laughed at him, because that's what you do when your pet does something ungraceful. To make up for it, I pulled him out of his tank & righted his branch & plopped down on the couch with him. Normally Ed heads straight for the floor, but tonight he just laid in my lap with his head on my hand & fell asleep. He's a colossal mush. To him, I'm just this big squishy jungle gym. I'm like, "dude, I gotta take a shower. Wake up..." but he just kept laying there. Rob's right, though - we put a lot of trust in Ed, too. I mean, when he yawned it was like his head cracked in half. He could do some damage - he's heavy, it's mostly muscle & if Rob or I startled or cornered him on a bad day, with a strike & coil he could easily break one of our wrists.

Watched a video of some college kids on the Eiffel Tower in France. They made a paper airplane & threw it from the observation deck. It was amazing - just a notebook paper airplane, no fancy folding or anything - it flew about a mile from the tower. I want to go to France & sail paper airplanes from the Eiffel Tower. :P Forget the Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre, the history, etc... paper airplanes beat it all.
