Movin' on Up


It would be awful to sit in a plane on the runway when your flight is delayed. So many flights are delayed now, it's more the norm to take off or land late. I wonder if the people on the plane were upset that their flight was delayed 35 minutes at JFK in New York. I would not have been. The reason the flight was held up was because 78 diamondback terrapin turtles were crossing the runway in front of the plane. How fun would that be to watch them marching along! They had come out of the water that was next to the runway. All the turtles were moved to a safer home far away from the airport. With the all the noise from the plane engines blasting them at their old pond, their new woodsy home is going to be so quite and relaxing. Way to go turtles.
