“Psst!\u00c2\u00a0 Listen up, humans.\u00c2\u00a0 The Turtle Journal team will be presenting a virtual extravaganza called “Turtles Gone Wild<\/a>“<\/strong> at the Wareham Free Library in Wareham, Massachusetts on the SouthCoast on Valentine’s Day, February 14th at 10:30 am.\u00c2\u00a0 I even hear through the terrapin grapevine that a couple of my reptilian pals will be on hand to make sure that these mammals get things right.\u00c2\u00a0 I’d be there myself, but … well, it’s winter.\u00c2\u00a0 And any self-respecting SouthCoast turtle will still be snoozing until long after the groundhog has not only seen\u00c2\u00a0its shadow, but has a healthy sunburn.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Goodyear Blimp Hovering Over Wareham, Massachusetts<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite the visual evidence displayed above of the Goodyear blimp circling over Wareham, there is no truth to the rumor that the “Turtles Gone Wild<\/a>“<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0presentation at the Wareham Free Library this Saturday morning, February 14th,\u00c2\u00a0at 10:30 am will be\u00c2\u00a0aired live to turtles around the\u00c2\u00a0planet by a major broadcast network.\u00c2\u00a0 We do, however, have solid confirmation that Turtle Journal will use its global connections to beam highlights of this Valentine’s Day extravaganza to\u00c2\u00a0every mammal\u00c2\u00a0and reptile around the world with internet access.<\/p>\n

Alligator Snapping Turtle Gives Shoutout\u00c2\u00a0to “Turtles Gone Wild”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

“Some say beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.\u00c2\u00a0 Others like me know that beauty, like intelligence,\u00c2\u00a0is an intrinsic quality inherent in all reptiles and sadly lacking in younger, less developed and decidedly less environmentally\u00c2\u00a0mature\u00c2\u00a0animals such as mammals.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s not really their fault.\u00c2\u00a0 How can you blame youth for its youthful transgressions.\u00c2\u00a0 We reptiles have dominated the earth for hundreds of millions of years, while modern humans have barely seen 100,000 trips around the sun.\u00c2\u00a0 Still, it will be tres amusing to see how this Valentine’s Day couple, Don Lewis and Sue Wieber Nourse, tell the exciting story about turtles of the SouthCoast.\u00c2\u00a0 ‘Turtle Gone Wild<\/a><\/strong>,’ indeed.\u00c2\u00a0 Unlike humans, everything we do is natural, environmentally sound and in harmony with all Nature.\u00c2\u00a0 Well, listen to their presentation and judge for yourself who actually represents the intelligent species.”<\/em><\/p>\n
