the turtle swim's through time...

Have you ever seen the giant turtle skeletons in the Badlands of South Dakota? I saw the original and a duplicate. One was at a fossil museum (the one that originally found the controversial t-rex Sue) and the other (the copy I think) at Reptile Gardens near Rapid City.

Wild colour Jim, but looks great with poor shellless turtle. Excellent creation.

...and now I have that song stuck in my head! Amazing, dramatic work - looks like the turtle is going to come flying right out of the monitor!


Mário Sousa   {K:16985} 8/21/2003

For those who can't sleep without knowing... The version of "Cut Across Shorty" that I remember was done by Rod Steward in the early 70s and went:

now a country boy named Shorty
and a city boy named Dan
had to prove who could run the fastest
to wed Miss Lucy`s hand
now Dan had all the money
and he also had the looks
but Shorty musta had that something boys
that can`t be found in books
cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across
that`s what Miss Lucy said
cut across Shorty, Shorty, cut across
you know it`s you that I wanna wed
wait a minute
now Dan had been in training
about a week before the race
he made up his mind old Shorty
would end in second place
you know Dan with his long legs flying
he left Shorty far behind
Shorty heard him holler out
Miss Lucy that you`ll soon be mine
cut across Shorty ... but Shorty wasn`t worried
there was a smile upon his face
`cause old Lucy had fixed the race
and just like that old story
about the turtle and the hare
you know that thing
when Danny crossed over the finish line
he found Shorty waiting there
cut across Shorty ...
it`s you that I wanna wed, no no
and oh Lord it`s you I wanna wed
it`s you that I wanna wed

(Walker, Wilken)

Mary:

P.S. Missed the turtle fossiles. I did get to the Reptile Gardens, but once my daughter spotted the giant albino python we were wrapped up, so to speak, for the rest of our visit.
