Subject: Never let the turtle go first

Okay I read this in the New Orleans Tomes-Picayune-

"Then there were those who, like the extended Boudreaux clan of Bayou Blue, near Houma, who needed two days just to prepare for an evacuation. Chris Boudreaux said the family made the decision to leave on Friday. But by 11 a.m. Sunday they had made it only to a gravel parking lot at Grand Bayou, a few miles north of Pierre Part, where they were taking a break from their journey to a planned evacuation site near Marksville.

A quick inventory of the Boudreaux's entourage explained why it took so long to get ready: Traveling with 24 adults, eight trucks and assorted trailers were three horses, 10 goats, 12 dogs, two cats, four rabbits and a turtle. "

I think the reason that it took so long was they let the turtle lead the procession!
