Good Morning!

[Paul B]

This morning I took my first walk on the beach for the season. I can't go in the winter because they remove the bottom 10' of stairs and being I am not Spiderman, I don't want to jump that distance. But today I rescued my first horseshoe crab of the Spring.



For an animal that has been here for millions of years they are very stupid. They have billions of miles of water but they keep crawling into very shallow water until a wave turns them over on the dry sand until the seagulls tear them apart for lunch.

Good Saturday morning everybody!

I did a beach walk this morning but it's cloudy so no sunrise. I went down to the sea to see the sea. And I didn't have to rescue any horseshoe crabs, Supermodels or seals.

New project

So I walk every morning and I am in farm and golf course country here and being it rains in New York more then London I needed new hiking boots because my sneakers get all wet walking on the grass which I have to jump up on every time a car or school bus comes by.

All my life I lived either in or near the city limits so we always had sidewalks, something non existent here. So I ordered these "hiking" boots from Amazon.

They were very cheap, practically free so I knew they would not last very long but I figured for the 2 miles I walk every day in wet grass, they would be fine for walking or turning over horseshoe crabs.

I got them and tried to put them on but they are like cement. Very stiff with absolutely no flexibility or movement so I figure they sent me the plaster model of the boot that they put up in front of a store in a mall.

I sent them back

Good Morning. This was the sunset last night.


On my morning walk it was foggy but I was able to check out this tidepool. Nothing exciting in it.


I was able to rescue this small conch or as us Italians call them Scungeel.
I got there before the sea gulls had him for lunch.

Good morning. It's pouring rain like monsoons here and I know what monsoons are like and I didn't take my beach walk. The rain has nothing to do with that as a real Man walks in any weather but my wife has an early doctors appointment so we are going there and for some reason doctors never have an office right next door.

When we lived near the city all our doctors were out here on Long Island. Then we moved out here and all our doctors are now there.

But tomorrow it will be dead low tide at 6:30 am so I hope the amphipods will be there spawning in the millions like they are every year. My friend is coming to help me collect,
(if he gets up)

I will throw all of them in my tank so I hope we get enough.

Good morning.

Beautiful beach walk this morning. We were out late last night and I wasn't sure I was going to go but salt water is in my veins, so I had to go.

(doctors can't understand that seawater thing but they won't let me give blood because the amphipods clog up their catheter. )




This must be an old beach because I often find Neanderthal items that wash up from 10,000 years ago.

For instance this morning I came across this ceremonial stick formation. It is amazing how good condition it was in.




Not far from there I found this piece of cave art that must have chipped off a cave as the Neanderthal was making axe heads.




Looks like some sort of Prehistoric cicada which this being was probably going to have for lunch.

As I walked I surmised that this fellow lived near a Walmart.
