“I drove for three days,” Meyer said. “When I stopped to walk my tortoises at rest areas, people thought I was selling turtles because I had so many.” It's good to see someone find their life's calling -- even if it is Turtles. Happy Sunday, and Memorial Day!

My kid has two red eared sliders, we get a big kick out of taking care of them. She would love to work at a place like that.

On June 13, Mayer and other interns will be traveling to Rancho Nuevo in Tamaulipas, Mexico to help locals learn how to make jewelry out of dried coconuts for income instead of killing sea turtles, she said.Big, big market for dried coconut jewelry. Probably will score her a Nobel Prize.

Won't be long before some genius comes along and says "Kill em all".

It's not for me, the whole turtle thing, but I'm glad for her!

Big, big market for dried coconut jewelry. Probably will score her a Nobel Prize. I wonder if she actually thinks these people didn't go back to killing the turtles as soon as she left?

I can't even name one of their songs. They look like the Monkeys.

I dunno. Which would the locals rather do? Cook a turtle for soup, or try to sell cheesy coconut jewelry to the rare gringo visitor to that part of Mexico?
I'm putting my money on the soup.

Big, big market for dried coconut jewelry. Probably will score her a Nobel Prize. I'm sure the locals love it when wide-eyed college girls from the richest country in the world show up with lessons on mantaining a "coconut jewelry" economy.

We have an African Spurred Tortoise. It's gonna outlive me and the wife. I guess we'll have to will it to one of our kids.
To: Dog Gone
Yep, I agree, they would rather have the soup. I am sure coconut jewlery would be a big hit somewhere, maybe on Mars?
