tortoise/turtle - 02:57 PM
(filed under 'animal')
i just saved a turtle on the road near our place .. or it could have been a tortoise? maybe we have both, i'm not sure. anyway, i was about to drive past shroom's office & i saw it on the road. before i really knew what it was, i passed over it with it going between the wheels, so i didn't hit it. as i went over it, i realised what it was. i drove back around for a closer look & yep, it had a shell & legs & a head.
as i found a place to stop, another car came along & i winced as it went by, but they didn't hit it.
i stopped just a little bit further up the road & jumped out with a towel to pick it up & move it over to the side of the road. it kind of flipped out of my hands as i took him there. it was just as well i used the towel, because i could feel his claws grabbing at it as i moved him.
i stopped by the office to check for mail & mentioned it to the two office ladies. apparently they get a few around here. i'm really glad he wasn't killed. i hope he stays off the road from now on.
two missed mpegs - 02:50 PM

i've missed two fantastic photo or mpeg opportunities today because shroom has the camera at work.
the first one was smiley trying to vacuum, the second is just now him talking on a toy phone. he has it to his ear & is chatting away into it. i wonder who he's talking to? he's still going. it's so cute!
