Happy B-Day Jonathan Tortoise

 Jonathan is 190 (close enough) years old. Holy crap, that's really old. Jonathan is of course a giant tortoise. A giant tortoise of the Galapagos kind. I'm thinking that is the case but I have no exact information on the chelonian origins of Jonathan. Evidently 'chelonian' is the family of tortoises, turtles, and terrapins. I did not know that. I know that now. See? It is possible to teach an old dog some new stuff. I love learning new stuff. Gives my existence fulfillment. Jonathan is in fact, older than President Joe Biden. Way older. Anyway, Jonathan lives a comfortable life at the Governor's mansion on the island of St. Helena which is in the South Atlantic and is an overseas territory of the British Empire. Lah-dee-dah! The Governor's mansion on the island of St. Helena is properly named the "Plantation". Go with the 'lah-dee-dah' exclamation one more time. Jonathan's keepers no longer allow anyone to have their photo taken standing on Jonathan's back. Well...yeah. Duh! Here's a photo of Jonathan -
