The New Hotness

  • Turtle Teleportation: Vassar Road

    As always, we knew this wouldn’t end well for the small lump just in front of the car’s rear wheel (clicky for more, albeit fuzzy, dots):

    Turtle 0134 - Vassar Rd - 2018-05-20
    Turtle 0134 – Vassar Rd – 2018-05-20

    So I stopped to lend a hand:

    Turtle 1280 - Vassar Rd - 2018-05-20
    Turtle 1280 – Vassar Rd – 2018-05-20

    A fumbling hand, as it turned out, on the turtle’s slippery shell:

    Turtle 1364 - Vassar Rd - 2018-05-20
    Turtle 1364 – Vassar Rd – 2018-05-20

    A belly-up turtle in the middle of the road knows the solution to the Halting Problem.

    I hoped a secluded spot under a pine tree was closer to its destination:

    Turtle 1724 - Vassar Rd - 2018-05-20
    Turtle 1724 – Vassar Rd – 2018-05-20

    However, if the turtle is a female in search of an egg-laying site, then she and all her progeny must cross Vassar Road in the other direction to reach the Mighty Wappinger Creek.

    We’ll teleport them if we see them, too …
