It was hard to say no to Elden after that.” Next thing you know, the boss would wander out of a back office wanting to know what the hubbub was about. “Within seconds, staffers would be oohing and cooing over tortoises big as silver dollars and cute as buttons. “Elden and his wife, Patty, would walk into a congressional office and place those little critters down on a table,” recalled fellow Sierra Club activist Jim Dodson. The Sierra Club stalwart with gray hair and piercing blue eyes was accompanied by a dozen baby California desert tortoises he had used as calling cards to lobby hundreds of congressmen and senators. The conservancy purchased more than 620,000 acres.

I broke some bones, I spilled a lot of blood. I've lost control - I smashed up cars, I trashed some bars, Or on the street or prison floor - done it all before. Trouble is in the air, trouble is everywhere, here it comes. Trouble is right behind me - now on that I can depend. Trouble is my shadow, trouble is my best friend. It finds me every time, it finds me all the time. I don't look for trouble, trouble looks for me. What did I do - did I die? - Not a clue, what did I do?
What did you do? Pounding head, broken bones When I wake up and see that I ain't home. Well where am I? that's what I say a lot of days What did I do now, how did I get where I am? It follows me or meets me there - it's in the air From the recording titled 'Here Comes Trouble'
