I thought to myself, (as I do), just imagine all the amazing sights and sounds he has experienced over those 184 years!...
...!And then, (in my quieter moments), I suspect that all poor Jonathan has ever heard in his lifetime, is the sound of the wind, and rain beating on his shell...
...and all he has ever seen, are stones of various sizes, and grasses of various lengths....
....!Maybe his long longevity can be attributed to his serene environment, (stones and grass), in contrast to what we have to put up with, in our hectic modern society; (people and motor cars)!

...!P.S...In all my 82 years, all I have ever experienced is rain in England!...(and its still raining)...
