The same day of the fateful banister slide, I also hung around my much-beloved turtle pond on the north side of the UT tower. It's not my turtle pond, of course, but I spent a lot of time there as a student. I love turtles, and I'd go out of my way to pass the turtle pond every day. It's a good place to have photos taken. Somewhat predictably, this story also made it to klutzy incidents.
