BEARDED DRAGONS
one of the members of my church was asking on facebook if anyone was interested in buying their BEARDED DRAGONS from them..
i KNOW craig loved his iguana, even tho he says he (iggy, the iguana) was mean.
so, i thought this might be a way to redeem Iggys horrible past.
craig sites Iggys behavior issue to the fact that craig couldnt spend much time with him. therefor, he became "evil and mean".
so, i asked craig if hed be interested. next thing i know were the new parents of these 2 BEARDED DRAGONS.
theres are pics and some videos i took of them. ENJOY!

NEWS - COURT RULES BRIDGE GRAFFITI CAYCE, SOUTH CAROLINAS PROBLEm
Cayce has lost its legal fight to force Norfolk Southern Railway to clean graffiti off its only railroad overpass in the city.
A unanimous state Supreme Court ruled Monday that a 2007 change in a city law is overridden by the U.S. Constitution and federal laws that protect railroad companies from a patchwork of local laws that could impede interstate commerce.
Cayce fined Norfolk Southern $500 that year for violating a newly enacted prohibition on eyesores on trestles and walkways that cross above public streets. Only one trestle met the standard, the Norfolk Southern overpass on the Old Charleston Highway between the Piggy Park restaurant and I-26, city attorney Danny Crowe said Wednesday.
A unanimous state Supreme Court ruled Monday that a 2007 change in a city law is overridden by the U.S. Constitution and federal laws that protect railroad companies from a patchwork of local laws that could impede interstate commerce.
Cayce fined Norfolk Southern $500 that year for violating a newly enacted prohibition on eyesores on trestles and walkways that cross above public streets. Only one trestle met the standard, the Norfolk Southern overpass on the Old Charleston Highway between the Piggy Park restaurant and I-26, city attorney Danny Crowe said Wednesday.
The city tried for two years to get Norfolk Southern to clean the trestle, which was rusty and painted with graffiti, according to the justices’ decision. Cayce called the trestle an eyesore and a nuisance that created a bad impression of the city along a heavily traveled thoroughfare.
The bridge is so ugly that it hurts property values in the vicinity, Cayce said.
Norfolk Southern refused, saying it could not afford to repaint the entire trestle, which it said could cost $250,000 if lead paint needed to be removed. The rail company told Cayce it would give the city access to the trestle if the city wanted to paint it itself. Cayce declined.
The rail company argued that if Cayce’s law were upheld, railroad companies could not afford the price tag. Norfolk Southern said its rails stretch 20,000 miles in 22 states. Norfolk Southern said the trestle is structurally safe and that it does not paint any for cosmetic reasons.
A municipal judge sided with Cayce. But a circuit judge and the Supreme Court overturned that ruling.

Two small earthquakes felt in the Midwest City and Del City area overnight
Scientists noted two small earthquakes in eastern Oklahoma County. The quakes were in the Del City and Midwest City area.

Two small earthquakes reported to have been felt by about 60 people in Midwest City and Del City are not likely connected to the foot of snow across the area, a scientist said.Published: February 4, 2011
At 1:30 a.m. today, a magnitude 2.3 quake was felt by about 10 people who reported it from the same area, Holland said.
It is possible that extra ground moisture can contribute to earthquakes, but snowfall moisture has not seeped far enough below ground to cause a quake. The quakes are occurring about 3 miles below the surface, Holland said.
Holland said he has been tracking a series of small earthquakes that have been reported since 2009 in the Jones area of eastern Oklahoma County including Cleveland County. The largest one was a magnitude 5.1 quake centered southeast of Lake Thunderbird in Cleveland County on Oct. 13.
No damages were reported from the smaller earthquakes Thursday night and this morning.
