I was driving on a 40-mph four-lane main street divided by a grassy median when I saw what I thought was a bag blowing across the street, but what actually was a small turtle. As I passed over it, I came to a stop and looked behind and saw it turn around and continue its slow progress. It would have been difficult for me to exit my car with my cane, but behind me a light was turning green, so I put on my flashers and waited. Two lanes of six cars stopped and sat there. A young man got out of his vehicle, walked over, picked the turtle up, and carried it across the median and the other two lanes and put it down headed into the trees on the other side. Once he got back into his vehicle, everyone proceeded on their way. A good day in my part of the metropolis!
