I Have Always Liked Turtles

When I was a kid I had at least one pet turtle, maybe more.

Also back then, the wonderful Chicago television host Ray Rayner (real name Ray Rahner but he changed the spelling so everyone would pronounce it correctly) used to feature turtle races on his 7:00 a.m. kids show that was a fixture of my every youthful morning. At least one of the turtles would invariably veer off the track and render the race irrelevant.

Nonetheless, I have always liked turtles.
