msfledermaus...I was walking home last night and while I was waiting for a light to change I noticed a turtle sitting on a second-floor windowsill of an apartment building. A turtle? A turtle!!!
The light changed and after I'd crossed I went up to the window and examined it as closely as I could. As far as I could tell it was a real turtle that had been taxidermied, and it's owner had positioned it outside the window, looking in wistfully. For the first few seconds I'd thought, "Did someone leave that poor thing outside to freeze?" I'm assuming whoever did it had the express purpose of making passersby (like yours truly) stop and go, "Hey, look! Turtle on a windowsill! Turtle on a windowsill!!!"
This and the cut-out head of John Malkovich in another apartment window make my neighborhood really interesting to walk in at 5 am...
So there you are...
