Wow, what happened to canoeing. Our truck cleaned up the mess left over after the incident.
The body of Mr. Shepherd, that is. These things are media driven storms where what really happened is so clouded by public interest and titilation over someone "famous" getting in trouble I would hesitate to even venture an opinion.
I can tell you that the streets of Toronto are awash with the blood of cyclist these days.
Within twelve hours of that event, we responded to two more near-fatal car/cyclist incidents in the same area. One will probably end up a fatality. The other, massive head injury. On the second one, no helmet and definitely the cyclist's fault. Also a courier.
The other, I cannot say, although she was hit by a car with a driving school sign on it.
My point is that the streets are crowded and it is dangerous for anyone. Cyclist, pedestrian.
Mr. Bryant's involvement simply makes it more newsworthy.
Incidents between motorists and cyclists are common and rarely end this way. Getting back to dogs....would it be too, too naive to state that, philosophically, they (dogs)have as much right to be in the woods as we do?
I know it does not solve any debates, but our rules are all about humans. Anyone in touch to the point of writing here about the possibility of bringing her dog camping....I am inclined to trust her judgement when it comes to her dog.
We have similar issues in Kolapore Uplands when it comes to skiing in the winter. The trail wardens have a zero tolerance for dogs. We local dog owners who pay taxes up here and help with the trails see it a bit differently.
