don't ruin your good shoes

---------------------

This is the fourth year in a row that a turtle has chosen the beach at Dana's Lakeside Resort to lay her eggs!  Last year we saw the turtle on June 16th, and in 1999 we saw it on June 10th.  Her eggs should hatch in early September according to our past observations.

--------------------

It's tempting, I'm sure, to sit down and write him a real torpedo of a letter and fire it out the aft tubes, but don't.  Don't respond.  Don't get into a pissing contest, you wind up ruining your good shoes.  Don't add to the anger and meanness that's already in the world.
