Subj : Tiers To : Jack Yates From : Andrea Santos Date : Fri Aug 03 2001 01:15 am -> If you had turned the turtle on his back he may have lived long -> enough to get him rescued by the people who return sea turtles to the -> sea. Who are they? Can't even get stray dogs picked up in a timely fashion. ;-) This event occurred less than a year after arriving here. Was so taken aback, didn't know what to do. Left the gate open, hoping he'd find his way out. Still haven't figured out how he entered the property. -> You don't want to *know* the fine for killing a sea turtle; It's steep. -> The Marine Patrol came close to locking up a shrimp boat captain in -> Carabelle for bringing one to shore. He had called a private marine -> lab in Panacea, whose owner was quite the activist regarding turtles, -> for assistance with the turtle, though and they let him alone. In these parts, you don't need to bring them to shore. ;-) -> AS> You can guess the end to this story. ;-) -> Turtle for dinner? You know, MIL was tempted but we talked her out of that. ;-) -> AS> Tropical wave, now storm, Barry has dumped roughly 7 inches of rain -> AS> in -> AS> these parts. Was about ready to unhinge the canoe and put -> out the AS> "Lake Homestead" sign -> I saw some of this on the tube a few minutes ago; my daughter moved -> back to the Tampa area just in time.. Oh, she's here already? Looks like she's getting pelted as we speak. Martin County, just north of Palm Beach, declared a state of emergency some hours ago. They are now expecting Barry to turn into a Hurricane. Fortunately for us, he's well to the northwest now. Still have rotten weather though. --- Platinum Xpress/Win/Wildcat5! v3.0pr3 * Origin: Platinum Xpress Support 305-248-7815 (1:135/382) .
