This cannot help but lift one’s spirits.

I wished that Jane Goodall could live forever; she had true gravitas, and was a strong voice for the planet and humanity. But she has surely earned her rest. It falls to us to carry on her legacy. #janegoodall

Unimpressed by the strident complaints about speed cameras. We do not have the right to speed. It’s not complicated: if you don’t want a ticket, pay attention to the limits and slow down. #traffic #speeding #respect

So sad to hear that Ken Dryden has died from cancer at age 78. He was my hero, my idol, my crush, when I was a kid. #hockey #kendryden #habs

I confess I felt compelled to use vulgar language toward someone in public. Turtle: safe. Me: home safe but still shaking. 3/3. #turtlecrossing

A snapping turtle, way older than me, crossing the busy road. I got off my bike to shepherd it across.
Everyone clued in and stopped or slowed down, except for the dump truck driver who kept barrelling toward me at 60 kph+ till someone on the sidewalk screamed at him. 2/3 #turtlecrossing
