cycling with a snapping turtle

Toronto, 2017.06.12

As I was on a 13km ride, I encountered a snapping turtle on a wooded path - it had the trail to itself. I can't honestly remember having seen one on land in Toronto, before.

I feel fortunate that I enjoyed the blandishments of modernity. I had hip replacement and root canal. I was able to travel on airplanes. I was able to take cheap food for granted. I went to the movies. I enjoyed rock 'n' roll. And now I'm ready to move on.
