The New Hotness

  • Turtle Teleportation: Love Road

    We spotted another turtle while on a grocery ride:

    Turtle on Love Rd - as spotted - 2014-07-02
    Turtle on Love Rd – as spotted – 2014-07-02

    Although this is certainly meddling in the turtle’s affairs, it seemed reasonable on a torrid day with plenty of hot asphalt to cross:

    Turtle on Love Rd - pickup - 2014-07-02
    Turtle on Love Rd – pickup – 2014-07-02

    I made the (possibly unwarranted) assumption that the turtle wanted to cross the road; I’ve been wrong before.

    In any event, this must be what teleportation feels like:

    Turtle on Love Rd - delivery - 2014-07-02
    Turtle on Love Rd – delivery – 2014-07-02

    There’s not really much on that side of the road, other than an inactive oil spill site left over from when Love Oil ran a tank farm. That’s why it’s called Love Rd, of course.

    Perhaps someone else will help the turtle cross the road in the other direction…
