48 Minutes

What you see in 48 minutes on the bike trail - If that trail leads you through Ohio swamp country. You didn't know there's Buckeye swamps? Well, it may not be up to Cajun standards, but it's wet, muddy, and full of exotic(?) creatures.


So on Sunday afternoon I saw:
  • One stripe-backed ADHD rodent (chipmunk)

  • Three low-country feral canines (pet dogs)

  • One slither-thither split-tongued viper (blacksnake)

  • Two mud-crusted warthogs (groundhogs)

  • One tank-shell minisaurus (turtle)

  • Two gallant steeds (riding horses)

  • Two benign deliquents (boys)

  • Too many to count, and most exotic and varied of all, homo sapiens (people)

This in a bit over 10 miles.


Yes Scout, over 10 miles. Last time was only 6 or 7.

I'm not riding a bike on any trail that has snakes—or boys.

Sounds like quite an adventure. That's an interesting mix of wildlife. That last one, tho, is really scary.

Homo-Sapians?

I love it when you talk dirty!
