Signs And Portents Part II

First it was buzzards on the roof at work. Next a giant freaking snapping turtle stuck in the middle of the road on the way home.

I stopped and gave him a hand crossing the street.

Two hands actually. His shell was about 12 inches in diameter and he weighted between 15 and 20 lbs. His claws were as big as a medium size dog's and his head was nearly the size of my fist He would easily take a grown man's hand off at the wrist with one bite if given the chance.

Remember kids: Nature is cute, but not cuddly. Handle with care.
