fred meets turtle

also, talking about annoying neighbor sounds- when i lived in an apt, i woke up once at 6am to a slight chirping and a guy yelling "SHUT UP!! SHUT THE G UP YOU !@#$!ING ASS!!!" and some loud banging. never would've heard the bird, just the guy yelling for 40 minutes.
 
When I lived in the desert we used to save turtles from the highway. Big dudes. Slow movers. Smelt of creamed corn.
 
rule 823483 of the internet:
every thread i make about fred ends up with someone posting about a dead/killed/maimed animal.
 
In australia there is this kind of toad that isn't indiginous and has sort of taken over, aparently in parts of the continent they are everywhere and people swerve to hit as many of them as possible.
