Bob the snapping turtle went missing sometime in September when construction was under way on the remodel of the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History. He recently resurfaced on the construction site, and his rescue was caught on film!

The whole city is grateful for these brave construction workers who risked missing lunch and possibly losing a finger to make Bob’s life a little better. (Seriously, though, good job folks! Thanks for not just leaving him to get squished by a backhoe.)

It’s been a crazy week here at West and Clear HQ. So crazy, in fact, that we’ve decided to open up the weekly “go do this” post to you, our brilliant, attractive, congenial readers.

Here are a couple of things to get you started:

The Fort Worth Astronomical Society is hosting a free stargazing party and telescope observation starting at dusk on Saturday. They’re meeting on the north lawn at the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History, 1501 Montgomery St. Call 817-255-9409 for the deets.

Saturday is also the day of competing green events.

The Westside Unitarian Universalist Church is hosting its Green Fest Saturday from 11-5 at its new location, 901 Page St. It’s free, of course.

I’ll be at the Live Green expo in Plano (yeah, I know, “Live Green in Plano” sounds like an oxymoron). It runs from 9-5, and since I don’t see a cost of entry listed on its web page, I assume it’s free. I’m debating riding a combination of my bike, TRE, and DART to get there, but I also have other business that I need to do in the Plano/Frisco/Dallas area, so I may have to resort to the car.

That’s it for me for the weekend! Sunday I’ll be cleaning up from the storm and trying to get ahead on some work.

What are your plans for the weekend? Post them in this thread! If you’d like to have something listed in a future event roundup, send us an e-mail with the word “event” in the subject line so we can pick it out easily.
