Turtles
As part of work, every morning I go out and meet our clients. Most of my clients are small, companies, run by 1-2 people. Its not I’m busy with work related stuff, its more “socializing” with them so when the need arises, they remember me.
The route I take, its pretty much the same, just on where I go first. I pass a canal. Its more like a glorified ditch. Extremely murky, on its cleanest days, you can see the junk (scrap metal, box like thingies) sunk to the bottom.
But for the past few months I’ve noticed something. LIFE!! Probably polluted beyond hope, I see turtles and fish. Today on the support columns, supporting the highway built above it, I see at least 15 turtles resting, baking their shells from the hot sun. All different sizes, seems like a family that’s grown. The turtles I’ve seen almost everyday now, only how many I see. I’ve also seen fish. BIG BLACK FISH. I can’t really tell what fish it is but seems like a koi. Its rare I see it. Next time I should buy lottery tickets and see if its rarity and its ability to live in a open sewer will bring me luck.
