Turtles had the right idea.

So during my riding I have seen many animals it kind of reminds me of when we were little and we would go on these family camping trips. One of the activities was these hikes we would go on and mom would point out all the different plants that she knew and more importantly we would look for animals. When we got back on the road we would right in our travel journals what animals we saw. I honestly think that this was just my mom keeping me busy. Anyway in the 5 days that I have been going I have seen: snake, turtle, squirel, hedge hog, turkey, deer, etc... Some of them were road kill too. Only one of these animals though did I see someone stop get out of there car and help the turtle cross safely. Which brings me to the point of this whole thing. Of all the animals that I saw the turtles were the only ones that I haven't seen dead on the road or being shot at. Oddly enough the turtles also have the longest life expectancy of any of the other animals. Perhaps our slow, methodical friends the turles are on to something. The have decided to put more stock in the hard protective exterior and plug along across the road and we all seem to admire something about that. I guess this means that next time you are given an option of the fast way or the slow hard way you might consider that the slow hard way might not be so bad I know I'm enjoying it.
