Content Enable editor Use plain text Code entry Lea Lent called me today all excited to tell me the big news. Her house is undergoing major repairs, such that she has to stay with her daughter, Lauren, while the work is done. She went out to see the progress and lo and behold, there were two sea turtle nests behind her house. There was one very large set of tracks and one small set. Both nests were flagged and roped off. Lea encouraged me to go see them. She said the work on her house should be done in June or July. I said that means she'll be back in time to see the baby turtles emerge. She said she didn't think so. She thinks it just take a few weeks. She said, "At least nobody will come steal the eggs." I said, "You mean a raccoon?" She said, "I mean people." I asked, "People take the eggs?" She said, "Oh yeah. They used to do that all the time." I asked, "What for?" She said, "To eat 'em. They're better than chicken eggs." I asked, "In what way?" She said, "They just taste better. The Minorcans used to come take the eggs all the time. Now it's illegal, thank God."
