Check out this picture of an accumulation of snails in Australia. Who knew they held conventions? This is from brother Tempo from currently wet Australia.
I believe I have seen this phenom in the southern U.S. Never could get anyone interested in researching it. Garden snails climb almost any object before heavy rains, and attach themselves and seal their shells shut. They could be wrong -- storms might pass a hundred miles away -- but there was always something nearby, within a day or two. The little dudes know ... and they don't drown.
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.

I used to have snails in my garden. Learned how to cook them and ate them. Plague is gone now. I miss eating snails.
Excuse me...did you say PLAGUE????
I hope you mine SNALE plague and not the other kind.
Lost in translation. I meant "pest".
Sure you did....UNCLEAN!!!!
You ever watch bizarre foods with Andrew Zimmern? That one episode where they farm snail eggs still freaks me out.
