Last Turtle and other things

Well, I found the last turtle. There were three that I was missing, but apparently two of them - Fish Tale and Under the Sea Turtle - are no longer available. Fish Tale has had legal trouble apparently, and Under the Sea Turtle was used as a jungle gym, so it was taken down.

I did get pictures of Brave Little Soul, inside the Daily's on Old St. Augustine Road, near I-95.

I also took a few pictures of other things while walking around, including the shot below of the downtown Jacksonville skyline. I also retook a couple of shots of the Sea-Lestial Moon-A-Tee.



Here's a link to the rest of the photos in my Flickr account.



Green Lights

Okay. When the light turns red, you stop. That's the law. Yesterday, while at a red light going into a subdivision, I saw five cars in a row run a red light. I hit the gas when I got a green light and could've plowed into a Suburban - WOMAN WASN'T EVEN PAYING ATTENTION (no, not on a cell phone, either) - but I didn't.

I've thought about this plenty of times, but seriously, if you want to buy me a new car - keep running red lights. I'd gladly hit your ass, have you earn a moving violation, and buy me a new car.

More turtles and a couple of surprises

Today I went turtle hunting after having put it off over the weekend. I was feeling a little under the weather Friday, so instead I played World of Warcraft once I finally convinced myself to get out of a warm and comfortable bed.

I put all of the addresses in my iPhone and then tracked them down. Unfortunately, I didn't get them all even though I spent three hours in pursuit. The three I am still trying to get are:
Brave Little Soul, which apparently moves from one Daily's convenience store to another every so often;
Under the Sea Turtle, which is located at the Town Center of Atlantic Beach and Neptune Beach; and
Fish Tale, at the Friendship Fountain in downtown Jacksonville.

Fish Tale and Under the Sea Turtle , I'm having the devil's own time locating.

However, I did catch a couple of manatee statues I hadn't noticed before and I took a couple of shots in Jacksonville that caught my eye.

Here's a Fire Engine photo I grabbed:
