Oooh, not good if your bikes are in there. We used to have a pool and even with the most careful storage of the chlorine tabs stuff would get rusted from exposure. Eeek!

Some of those turtles like to eat all sorts of caterpillars. When my son was about 3 we played with a box turtle for hours, and fed it silkworms(inchworms?)
that were hanging from a tree. It took a good chunk out of my finger too!

Are they the septic system chlorine tablets, or the pool tablets? Can you send them to me? We need some for our septic system!

My husband has threatened to make me a sign to hang on the saddle that says "I brake for turtles". I am a big fan! When I see turtles in the road I try to (safely) stop and move them across the road in the direction they are going. .

Seriously I do have a bell that I ring for DH when I am stopping for a wildlife related issue.

Turtles are quite stubborn, so if you put them back where they came from, they will just try it again.

Box turtles are the state reptile of NC, so I feel justified in my crusade. Your guy/gal is a different matter all together but glad you saved 'im/'er.

But at least I'm not inhaling the road kill like Lisa's been known to do!

I wish I could find that post

We found a digital camera one time. It was like new. It takes very good pictures.

I once found a canvas bag someone used as a purse (so I suspect) and it had ten dollars and a single earring in it. And some melted chocolate.

I still use that bag to hold my helmet, shoes, and gloves in.

What a lucky day!

What happened to the chocolate

I had to soak it and scrub it, but it came out of the material.

today we found 89 cents in loose change along about a 50 foot section of road downtown. Good thing we weren't in a hurry!

Did it have someone's photos already on it?
Someone may be missing those photos
