More "Take Your Pants for a Walk"

the new issue for "Wiggle Your Toes" is up, but that doesn't mean you should still take your pants for a walk! Go to this and you'll see someone taking their pants for a walk all the way across America, from New York to San Francisco.

Listen to Nicker!

COMING SOON!!!
We are now setting up the Nicker Stories Recording Studio. Why? Pretty soon now, when you come visit Nicker Stories, you will be able to click and HEAR a story.
Don't forget to come back on Thursday for the "Wiggle Your Toes" issue ... and more news.

Don't forget to visit Captain Kazoo (captainkazoo.com). He always has some fun things going on.

In Tempe, Arizona is the Tempe Town Lake. And inflatable dam was used to make it. Well, Tuesday night a part of that dam exploded! It popped just like a giant balloon. The lake drained. What a mess.

Here's Gordie the Social Tortie after his bath.

As you know, Gordie the Social Tortie has decided that the Arizona summer is hot, and that he is old enough now to make his own home. His tunnel is about 3 feet down (about a meter) and my best guess is that it is at least 15 feet (about 4-5 meters) long.
He came out this morning to have breakfast. Living underground, he was covered with dirt, and there were branch marks in that. Gordie was very hungry. He was eating a lot and very fast. Of course, I got the hose and gave him a nice bath and a drink. After that, he came over to have his head rubbed.

Nicker's Cousin Returns

I've been told that Nicker's cousin, Minne, is being seen on the lakes of Minneapolis again this summer. If you get there, be sure to say hello. And don't forget to visit Nicker's buddy, the Lake Elf. Come on into the main website and you'll find more about both of them in Story Hour.

COMING THURSDAY!!!

The new issue of Nicker Stories will be ready for you to enjoy this coming Thursday, July 15. It's "Take Your Pants for a Walk," and we start out by walking on the MOON! With this issue you can also be one of the first to get the FREE Nicker Calendar Page for August.
Then coming in August, we will be continuing some changes to how Nicker Stories looks and works. If YOU have some ideas, we'd sure like to hear them.

While I was away to Lake Edie, Gordie the Social Tortie was making a cavern. I blocked the entrance. He got mad at me and decided to make another. I'm not sure yet just where it goes, but judging by the amount of dirt he has tossed out of the cave, several of you could go camping inside.
