Ang, your post is hysterical. And as non pc as it is, I can only assume what you meant by a certain death! LMAO! Turtles are so cute.
Back in Georgia, most of the roads I drive on are hicksville two lane roads that people speed down. Twice this past summer, I was driving alone and there was a turtle out in the middle of the road. Well, people sometimes have sick humor and like to run over things just becuase. So I stopped my car, walk out into the middle of the road, and put the turtle back on the grass on the side of the road. Then generously applied the anti-bacterial hand gel when I got back in the car!
