Great anecdote, Chris.

The more I learn about gastropods, the more incredibly rich the animal kingdom at large becomes.  Too often overlooked, snails and their cousins deserve more popular attention.  Even the scienctific study of gastropods seems to be in it’s infancy.

Speaking as a lifelong suburb/city girl: “Yecch!”

But beautifully written “yecch,” as always.

Garden snails are old news.  Pictures of Leopold slugs getting it on are the new hotness.

You pulled them apart!  They, who clearly wanted privacy?  Sheesh, the sex police are everywhere!

snails in the street! when we lived in santa cruz and had a real street in front of the house, as opposed to our present semi-rural situation, we tossed so many snails in the auto path i worried the pavement would become slick and cars might slide into the yard. often the snails died in flagrante delicto.

This is a test comment. Paul, holler if you see this, OK?

I got the email.  I replied to it, but I got that too.

I take it that this means I’m the comment spam deletor until you get back?  I tested yesterday and my old login still works.
