Hero Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 sorry no pictures of todays adventure...i dont own a camera. I was riding my bicycle into town to buy some fruit and sprouts, when I noticed what appeared to be roadkill. I stopped and it was a small-medium turtle well alive and unharmed. but the turtle was directly in the road not moving and exactly where a car's tire would run it over. So I got off my bicycle and gently put the turtle in my bookbag. I rode my bicycle a minute or two up the road until I got to the stream. And I got off my bicycle climbed on down into the gully, took the little fellow out of my bookbag, as he/she proceeded to pee a little on me and my bag, and I set the turtle free into the water. Ive never seen a turtle be so relieved to be in water and start swimming right away. If I would have had my eyeglasses on (I lost them at the ocean), I would have never noticed this turtle and the turtle could have possibly been ran over and killed. But since Im limited to only see directly in front of me, I was able to spot the turtle in the road, and I came to the rescue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crash Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Maybe the reason you lost your glasses was to rescue the turtle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hero Posted July 27, 2007 Author Share Posted July 27, 2007 Maybe the reason you lost your glasses was to rescue the turtle. I'd like to believe so. It also got me to realize I have some really amazing people right in front of me, and I dont have to spend my life searching. I should value and appreciate the friendships in my life. right now, right here, right at the tip of my nose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
