    so ride Sally ride.

    A camel with one hump is called a dromedary and is Arabian. A camel with two humps is called a bactrian and can be found in East and Central Asia. Maybe it should be renamed Back Train.

    Remember, I'm a retired teacher, so I couldn't resist. First grade was my favorite age level.

  2. P.S. from P.B.: Have you been foolin' around again with that camera, Randall?

  3. No camera tricks this time Pam. When I drove by this field in Port Orchard, Washington on my way home from a job yesterday and saw the camel I knew I had my photo of the day. In total there were 2 camels (a one hump, and a two hump) and one horse in the field, but they didn’t want to stand close enough together to all be in the same photo, so I had to settle for this shot.

  5. When I see an animal like this, like any fairly well-read person, I think of the Horseback of Notre Dame -- or do I have the title griggleated somehow?

    Anyhow: you don't often see one of these things with the shell removed. Do you hack it off surgically, Randy, or is this a freak of some kind?

    -- probably started off as an armadillo, no?

    How many inches high was it?
