Turtle Time

Turtle Time Ever wonder what they think? You know, the turtles. The throwbacks, the procrastinators, “Land—water—both?” The first houseboats, heads sitting on the bow guiding the cumbersome craft, stalking the unsuspecting in slow-mo silence. Mud slide building sun worshippers living life in the slow lane. Old folk at warm water beaches reminiscing, long swims, ocean currents, mounded sand, moonlight rendezvous. Solitary creatures, hard shelled evolutionary slowpokes. Ever wonder what they think as generations pass? John G.
