Geddy released September 26, 2006
Kemp’s Ridley Sea Turtle, “Geddy”
It’s not what you’re thinking. No, Geddy wasn’t involved in an Alex-esque brawl with police in a Naples hotel. The Geddy referred to here is a turtle. What could be better for a slow Rush news day than a story about a turtle named Geddy? (Get it.. slow.. turtle.. ) 
Kemp’s Ridley Sea Turtle, “Geddy”
… On Friday, September 8, 2006 the National Aquarium in Baltimore’s Marine Animal Rescue Program released a rehabilitated endangered Kemp’s ridley sea turtle. The turtle stranded in June on Hooper’s Island in the Chesapeake Bay. It had ingested a recreational fishing rig and had a hook lodged deep in its esophagus. Aquarium veterinarians surgically removed the hook and the animal was rehabilitated in the Aquarium’s hospital pool. … The turtle, named Geddy, was released with a satellite tag affixed to its back that will transmit information about where it goes. The tag could track Geddy’s movements for up to several months until the adhesive fails and the tag falls off. The satellite tag was provided through the generous support of The Herbert Bearman Foundation, Inc., who also chose the name of the turtle.

So take advantage of this lull and check out this video of toddler Holly rocking out to Bastille Day. Hopefully I’ll have more to report soon.

A Show of Hands video on YouTube September 19, 2006
Nearly the entire A Show of Hands video is now up on YouTube - all but 2 tracks I think. You can watch them all here. But if you haven’t already, you really should buy Replay X 3 and watch them in DVD quality.

Rush featured on Wikipedia
A couple of readers (Al, xanadu2112) sent me this bit of news. The online encylopedia, Wikipedia, features an article every day and today’s feature is, you guessed it … Rush! I use Wikipedia extensively on this site - I find it’s probably the best reference resource on the web. Cool.
