I suppose it's one of those “you had to be there to appreciate the humor”, but this is worth sharing. I took Monday morning completely off because the weather was so fine, and went for a ride up the lake to Argenta with a certain personage who drives the Nelson-Kaslo-Cooper & Meadow Creeks-Howser-Argenta route on a regular basis. (He will be the local morning road reporter again this winter at the Treehouse Restaurant.)
As we entered Argenta, I remarked on the uniqueness of the “Turtle Crossing” sign, to which my compatriot remarked “Now if I was a turtle, I'd be on a log in THAT part of the swamp”, as he observed there were no turtles beside this particular stretch of the road. And I thought to myself, turtles probably don't drive anyway. It just struck me funny, because I can hardly imagine a TURTLE driving a delivery van into Argenta. But then, stranger things have happened in Argenta. It was a gorgeous trip, so take in the fair this weekend.
Interesting comment about the location of the turtles though, and I shall make a call or two to see if they've relocated to another area near the road. I know a certain lady who is plugged into the turtle scene.
