The world according to me....

It was a beautiful day, with blue skies and warm temperatures (nearly 15 °C), on Indian Beach in North Carolina. I was there because I received a call about a dead turtle on the beach. When I arrived, I found Donna Gurley - the turtle volunteer coordinator for Indian Beach - and a local police officer who was willing to help out. After we finished collecting information and burying the decomposing loggerhead turtle, we chatted about the impending holidays and how great the December weather has been so far in our area. When we parted, we said "goodbye" but not "see you soon," for we usually meet up at this time of year only when there is a stranded turtle on the beach.
