… y'all remember my snapping turtle friend from last spring? 

 Well, the Riverwood conservation officers surmised "she" was a female, 

out of the water, looking for someplace to lay eggs.

… well, for three days running, I've spotted this little guy hiding 

in the mud along the banks of the Credit River!  I have no idea 

if he (or she) is a snapping turtle(back of the shell looks a little spikey 

and the head is short and "snub-nosed).  

But what the heck, I say he's a snapping turtle!  

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
