I SAVED A PREHISTORIC TURTLE.
IT LOOKED LIKE THIS:
all attempts to identify it have led me to think it's a "common snapping turtle." mine looked a lot more dry and from the past though. it's tail was also shorter. lord, i hope if they ever classify humans they don't put common before my name. years of sarah plain and tall jokes are quite enough.
i was jogging and it made me stop and make gross out noises because at first i thought it was a pile of bones from a headless bird. that was so shocking. then i realized it was a dinosaur looking thing, made more gross out noises and kept running.
on the way back, lil' man was trying to make it under the fence. i said, "aw man!" and saw a rogue funny papers flying around like a dang big city tumbleweed. so i made a turtle mitt and caught that jank back by it's haunches and boy did he swirm, i tell ya what!
i did think for a moment, "what will happen to me if he scratches me?" hopefully x-men- like characteristics and sexiness. then i realized i hadn't planned for the grand embarkation back into the swamp. set him down on an incline and he slip-n-slid out of there. farewell my friend!

you make me laugh. so much.
dude! why is it cutting off half my pictures! what's the deal yallz?!
yes, you make me laugh, too, Sarah, I love reading your blog.
One time I saved a turtle too, it was crossing Azalea Gardens Rd near the Botanical Gardens. I stopped the car, took a blanket I always keep in my trunk for animal savings, and put the turtle in the trunk. Drove near the water and let it go....
Good deed, Sarah! good deed.
Another time I used the blanket to capture an injured seagull, put in the back seat of Valerie's car next to her little girl and then we all drove to the bird saving people in VA Beach [hahaha sorry, can't remember what they are called].
I've been thinking about "big city tumble weed" ever since I read your blog and can't wait for an opportunity to use it. Pure written genius.
