Coming back to my apartment I said hello to the turtles out front, as I do each time I pass them (after all it's their building; I'm only visiting) and noticed that Rocky (Yes, I've given names to them: Dinky, Rocky, Scooter and Skip) was in an odd, somewhat unturtlelike position.



He didn't look particularly distressed. He watched me watching him with his beady reptilian eye, as usual. Every so often he stretched his head out of the water.

He's just resting in the sun, right? Right??
