I rescued a turtle on the way in this morning. I see plenty of road kill, but 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.
