I can't be the only one who has been stuck behind it and it feels like you're there FOREVER. I'm just going to come right out and say it....there seems to be an abundance of traffic lights in the Hudson Valley, do we really need that many? Since I've moved here I've gone through brakes quicker and having to stop so much has become a huge annoyance to me. Every morning when I'm driving into work I always get stopped at one light in particular and it's very frustrating when it happens. The light literally does not change colors, I've actually clocked it before and I sat for almost 4 minutes before the light changed colors. Seriously? So, what's the deal with it?

There are reports that a turtle caused commutes to take a little extra time in Dutchess County. I've been respecting turtles for my entire life. I started out very young with an obsession for Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello and Raphael. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles might be every young boys introduction to turtles. Once you grow a little older and realize that they don't fight crime or eat pizza you gain a healthy appreciation for them. Sometimes a turtle is the first pet for a child. Many have memories of catching a turtle and keeping it in a bucket for a few days until releasing it back in to the wild. However, it should be important to know that you really shouldn't relocate these animals. Some states have rules against it.
