we went from cicadas to crabs..we are just buggy

April 25, 2002

crabs are scavengers, they'll eat flesh, vegetation, fruit, all depending on the

species...

i'm wondering if the crabs were actually lookin fer water, or they just fell

in....land crabs drown reaaaal easy!!!!

thses sound like land crabs, on there way to the ocean to drop off some eggs,

and head fer home...lots of em drown ....

plus, pools are full of chlorine and other assorted chemical fun

but, then, maybe these were happy crabs enjoying a dip, wot the heck do i know

Hey, I though chlorine was great for wildlife -- that's why they put so much of it in our fresh water supply, right?
