   Shelbie kidnapped another turtle this morning. (See [1]here for
   background.) I thought something was up when she didn't meet me at the
   street crossing. I noticed when she ran up that she was carrying
   something, which she promptly dropped. Sure enough, it was a turtle.
   This one was the size of a baseball cut in half. It's already over 90º
   Fahrenheit, with a forecast for 100º, so I couldn't leave the turtle
   there. I carried the critter half a mile back to the creek. I waited a
   few minutes to see what would happen. The turtle eventually poked its
   head out, looked around, and scampered (if that's the appropriate word
   for how a turtle moves) into the reeds.
