Remember last year when I waxed poetic about the turtle in my backyard?

That poor turtle is now a celebrity (see here, and elsewhere). This morning as I wiped down my chairs to enjoy my first al fresco breakfast of the season, there was a two-man CBS news crew in the yard next to mine, getting the video exclusive. The woman reporter spent ten minutes fixing her hair and make-up. It took about three minutes to get the story on tape.

Afterwards, the reporter said, “I’ll probably get twenty emails about this story and none about the shooting.” I wasn’t sure what shooting she meant, but it sounded wise and cynical and sad and true. And thus my morning. Watch the turtle exposé on CBS, tonight at 6.
