Sorry Wes, they don’t have a long lifespan. I lost my original one after three years. I did notice that before it died it quit wearing anything. I even posted a picture a week before stating my urchin has been streaking.

Yeah. That's exactly what happened. Right after Zach and I had that exchange about our respective urchins' garments. I actually thought about posting something about streaking, but never did.

Well I guess we can officially declare streaking as a sign of impending death.

It's an IHOP Buttery Syrup coffee day again today. The first two out of the grab bag were Hazelnut Latte (I don't do Hazelnut). The third was a Folgers Half Caff (who buys those?!!??!). Attempt number 4 (when it comes to coffee there's no three strike rule) brought the Buttery Syrup so I brewed it up.

None of those things are recognized as coffee.

Anyone know anything about white legged hermits, my son ordered 20 and received 6 free and gave me five. Google says they are reef safe.
