“He’s literally going one mile-per-hour in a 30 mile-per-hour zone … I mean, this guy is easily 100. He shouldn’t be on the roadways to begin with. I tried to talk to him, but he snapped at me. I don’t know what this guy’s deal is.”

That is lovely, kind. ….Lady in Red
The last time I saw a cooter in the road, the guy behind me put it in his truck and took it home for supper. ( He first asked if I wanted it .)
Wasn’t it “The Great Santini” in it’s original form that had Robert Duvall running over turtles at night saying it was his only form of pleasure??
“I’ve never had anyone’s approval, so I’ve learned to live without it.”
Don’t know how many times I bailed out of the work truck on back roads to deliver a turtle to the ditch he was pointed at.
I swear there must be a sort of migration season because it seems to cluster.
Only mean people deliberately run over animals in the road. I won’t wreck to avoid one, but I try to miss.
I moved one off the road myself. Had to pick it up and put it on the grass near his water source. I was hoping it wasn’t a snippy turtle- it wasn’t- but if it was, both our asses would end up in the hospital. lol

I had to stop for one of these slowpokes last week. I’ll be darned not even a half mile up the road I had to stop again for a flock of wild turkeys who were crossing the road like they were in a conga line. Eh, at least it wasn’t the bunny hop. Anyway, I love living here, so much nature to see in rural farm country.
Majorityofone.
Absolutely made me evening.
Robert Earl is a great Texas troubadour.
Great song writer and best live shows you will ever see.
But I am biased, being from Texas.
Saw him at Gruene Hall.
Great show.
There is a big flock of slow moving turkeys in my town. Everybody stops for them when they cross the roads.
Then there was the stork who stood on my house for months except when I started my car in the garage. Once the garage door went up he stood behind my car so I couldn’t back out.
I did everything to get him to move with little luck. He left when he was good and ready.
I think he finally realized no baby was on the way and tried another house.
In the words of Bill Engvall, Mr. Tortoise needs a sign.
” I may be slow but I’m ahead you. ”
Ought to do it.
And obtw, if you see one on the road ahead you. Don’t look at it. Target fixation will cause you squish him, most of the time. Or increases the probability of so doing. For the same reason motorcycle riders know you always look beside of and never look at a pothole.
( which is an odd word, why are they called potholes? Maybe from an old camping, living outside origin.)
