Not really a find and keep story, but I see plenty of road kill. Last week was a deer, right on the edge of the road. The next morning, it had somehow been moved to about 15 feet away from the road. And it was surrounded by buzzards. Yesterday afternoon there seemed to be nothing left but some bones.

I always hate to see a squashed turtle. I tell myself if I ever see one trying to cross that I'd stop and help him.

That opportunity presented itself this morning. He was about 2/3 of the way across. It wasn't a busy road, but his chances of successfully crossing - especially since he was just sitting there retracted into his shell - were not very good. I put him in the grass just off the road and went about my business.

(sorry for a semi-repeat post, but I don't think many folks read the "How was your commute today" thread)
