I almost got killed once trying to save a snapping turtle that was turned upside down; when I got closer he was much bigger than expected, and tried to bite me. I dropped him, but he was enormous and it did him no harm. Or her. Who knows? Anyway, thanks for the memory.

I'm sure your heroic efforts did not go unappreciated... though some have strange ways of expressing it.

Too bad this epitaph needed to be 4 lines only due to budget restrictions.

Haha, poor Gus, could just see it Line, Gus in a heap and the toad hopping away oblivious to the goings on around him. Good luck. Tom
