I suppose I like Walz, too, but how is it going to feel listening to him trying to justify sending more weapons to Israel?

Anyway, here are a pair of sand fleas my kid and her cousins found at the beach.

    holy wow, I remember visiting my aunt and uncle down in Maryland when I was a kid and being fascinated by these lil creatures! Thanks for helping me take that jog down memory lane, I hope the kiddos were as excited as I was

    And happy cake day!

    I think those are actually mole crabs. Sand fleas are usually about 1/3" long everywhere I’ve been.
