It is a Great Day Today

My brother and I went shopping for monuments in Newark NJ for his wife who just passed last year. He was not ready to go out and get a stone for a long time, so I told him when he was ready that I would make sure to clear my schedule so that I could go out with him. I knew that there were a few places to go, but I wanted to see what was out there to pick from. When you look at a catalog it could be pretty hard to figure out how big the features of some of the fancy stones are. Even with measurements, it could be really hard to try to imagine what it will look like. Since the stone is forever, I wanted to make sure that he was ready to look so he did not feel rushed, or pick out something that he was not going to like later on in time.

My brother and I went to a few stores and we did not find anything that we thought would represent her well. He said that she liked butterflies so we were going out to look for something that had either a butterfly or some pretty insect on it. We finally made our way to a place that many people said had a lot of things to chose from. When we got there, it looked like a large lot filled with stones. We were about to leave when he wanted to look at some stones in the back and out of the way. As soon as we got there, we saw the perfect stone with a butterfly on the top. It was really great to find and we both cried our eyes out when we saw there was a real butterfly on it, a true gift.

A Storm Took Down a Tree

Storms never scared me when I was younger. Now that I am older and a homeowner, I admit that I do get a bit frightened when there is a thunderstorm. The noise doesn’t scare me at all, and I find it to be peaceful actually. What does bother me is the lightning. I have a lot of trees around the house, and my worst fear came true a few weeks ago. I needed to hire a Nassau County tree removal company because lightning struck a large tree right next to the mailbox. Part of the tree came down on the mailbox, and the other part was leaning at a dangerous slant.

I knew I needed to get someone out here quickly. I had no idea how fragile the tree was, or at least the part that was still standing. The part that fell was not blocking the road at all, but if the other one fell at a different angle, it could. Continue reading “A Storm Took Down a Tree”

Turtle dies of starvation due to insect larvae

In August 2019, the red eared slider turtle died after a few months mainly because of starvation.
It is also possible that the insect larvae had eaten the lower soft parts of the turtle
There is very less information on why the turtle was not eating anything online.
Some mentioned salmonella infection
Anyone having information about treating sick turtles, especially red eared sliders, please send an email to info@blogposts.in

Insect larvae make it difficult for turtle to eat food

it was also not eating the insect larvae
Changing the water repeatedly did not change the condition, the turtle remained in the dry area of the turtle container

Incorrect prices of red eared slider turtles in Times of India

The Times of India and other newspapers are running a campaign claiming that all the information which they provide is very accurate . However this is not true in some cases. For example in May 2019, it had an article on the front inner page which said that the price of a red eared slider turtle is Rs 4000.
In reality, the price of a turtle is only Rs 300 in Panaji, Goa
In Mumbai it is even cheaper at Rs 250 per turtle in a pet shop

Even albino turtles are available for Rs 1500 in panaji, goa.
So for pet prices, the mainstream media should verify their information

Due to high pollution levels turtles nesting at different sites in goa

Most of the turtles nesting in goa are olive ridley turtles and they have nesting sites in morjim beach and some beaches in canacona
there are special facilities for the turtles at these beaches
However because of pollution and other factors, these turtles are now nesting in other beaches
The media reported that a turtle nest with eggs was spotted at calangute beach
The forest department was notified and the eggs were relocated to the beach in canacona for hatching

Goan mainstream media covers Olive ridley turtles extensively

There are many animals in goa, like cows, pigs, birds like comorants, pigeons, magpie robins, bulbuls. These animals are getting almost no coverage in the mainstream media in goa, there are almost no articles about them.

On the other hand, the Olive Ridley turtles which come to the beaches of goa to lay their eggs, are getting a lot of coverage in the mainstream media in Goa.

The newspapers will carry almost no news or information of the red eared slider turtles which are widely available in the pet shops, only they are repeatedly carrying the news of the olive ridley turtles.
It would be interesting to find out the reason why the goan mainstream media is only covering olive ridley and does not have news of other types of turtles.
