I hate those little buggers! I had one that was wiping out my snails. I caught it on an overturned bumblebee snail. I sent him to the whelk ranch where it could spend its days running the open fields and chase butterflies. When I was a child I got home from school to find out our Irish setter went to a similar place, I cried but took comfort in knowing he would love the place.
 
So, two turbo snails, a hermit crab, bumblebee snail 🐌 and a rfa walk into a bar (sorry that’s all I have right now, haven’t finished my first cup of coffee).

I really try to be on here as much as I can.
I always listen and read, and listen some more.
This summer has really kicked my butt and I want to thank everyone, my family for helping each other through every single day, no matter how good or bad, up or down.
The music, the pictures, the laughter...
You guys are the best.
I 100% agree Joel. I couldn't have said this better. Keep your head up brother
