Though I spent the first two weeks daunted by the crashing waves and briney surf, today I have sallied forth to comb the beach I now inhabit. The ocean had many wonders to share with me:
A. The shell of a Moon Snail, also known by its hideous scientific name, Naticidae.
B. A Strata Tour Professional golf ball marketed by Sports, Inc. Though I cannot prove it, I believe one of my rich neighbors was trying to chip this item into my ear canal.
C. A well-beaten mollusk shell. I believe it to have originally been that of a mussel.
D. A deteriorating yet spectacularly colored lobster claw...?
E. A beautifully iridescent piece of a seashell. I believe it to have originally been that of a clam or a mussel.
F. A really neat rock!
The moon was exceptionally big and beautiful tonight:
