good deed

The other day I was driving away from work. The parking lot is kind of dirty; there's been construction lately. There was a ball of leaves or dirt slowly blowing across the lot as I was driving past. For some reason I took a second look and it was a turtle! A little painted turtle, lost in the big bad parking lot. I stopped my car and walked over to it. It looked at me and hid in its shell. I picked it up and carried it across the lot to where there's a kind of ditch with water and cat tails. Unfortunately the edges of the ditch were too steep for me to walk down so I had to toss mr turtle (gently) into the water. Better than getting run over by a truck.
