turtles

There were turtles in chinatown today. and it was stinky. something wasn't right.

it's always a little stinky by the fish monger, but today it smelled like poo. sorry: feces.

there were two buckets. One was full of live normal-sized turtles like the kind you'd find in the backyard in Florida. The other held only two enormous turtles - sea turtles maybe? i thought beth would know, but then i was glad she wasn't there. the two giant turtles were hugely sad - - and i think they were creating the smell.

that little bit of grand street was just all kinds of wrong today.

we saw a baby in just a diaper screaming in the heat and i said, 'he's still better off than the turtles.' we saw an old man hobbling along with one leg bent completely the wrong way. no comparison. those turtles were living in misery.
