Of Turtles
Saw a turtle the other day. Had to smile, despite my jealousy. Wish I could roll my head into my body cavity and temporarily hide from people and events that frighten me. Wonder why you only gave turtles this gift. Surely, millions of Chinese could have used it during Mao's insane period. I could share other examples with you at the appropriate hour.

Did you know that sea turtles lay their eggs in sand and the temperature of the sand (varied by the depth they bury them) determines the sex of the hatching turtle? Warmer sand produces females (buried slightly closer to the surface) and colder produces males (avg. is 83 F). The Monterey Bay Aquarium has an exhibit highlighting the fact that climate change is producing higher sand and water temperatures which affects the overall temperature of the nests = more females over time...
