She stopped her car and then stopped oncoming traffic. A coal truck driver jumped out to assist and to menace drivers that were tooting their horns and trying to run the turtle blockade.<br />She has a shovel in the back of her car and she and the coal trucker lugged the turtle to safety.

So, all those years that I thought it was worse than a waste of my time to learn about all the horrible things that I can't do anything about anyway, it turns out that I was wrong. I mean, all I have to do is to miss the news for a week and Chicago is annihilated! I feel SO responsible for that.Snowbrushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436087215476479042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-65829553840756936432011-07-07T01:14:59.393-05:002011-07-07T01:14:59.393-05:00My Gawwwd, swim at your own risk?

It also brought back memories for me, we had a pool just like that when the kids were younger.
