Thank you, this makes me very happy! The book presents a lot of science, but does so in a very engaging manner, and the illustrations are sooo good. Little plankton stage Pagoo is so cute!

And of course, the name Pagoo was borrowed from the scientific name for the hermit crab, Paguroidea.

Awesome! It is such a wonderful work! I still remember it so clearly all these years later!

It was my most favorite book when I was young. It follows the life cycle of a hermit crab, and the illustrations are so wonderful. I have given copies of it to all of the young children I know.

Here is a cool thing that winter set on my storm door after a storm. Can you see Jack Frost tipping his hat in it?

I love hermit crabs! I would never buy one in a store, I know where they live here. Are you familiar with the children's book Pagoo?

They're mini, so that means you can eat them by the handful!

Hermit crab?

Very nice. Connections with the land and magic, when the priests and priestesses and the physician were still one. I remember.

I love cedar waxwings! I remember once seeing a bunch of them feeding on insects above a pond. They would take turns swooping over the pond and then perch and eat. I got some good pictures, they are sooo beautiful!

Back to the grove!

Thank you so much! And you!

Yeah, that is when they are the best, just cooled.

But honestly, I have never slept on it. I believe it was only forbidden to eat it. But it Barbra Eden was involved, I might risk it...
December 24, 2025 at 12:28 AM
Well, it's forbidden, so...

I remember a few years back when some politician was speaking at a BIW launch, calling the ship an engine of peace or some nonsense, and just bursting out "No, it's a destroyer! That is literally it's name and purpose, a destroyer! It destroys, that is not peace!"

Sooo, what else? Kids?

Yeah, tinsel is bad. Always had at least one of the cats trailing some from their butt. Eventually switched to garlands. Just thought that you could do the wrapping and ribbon gun like shooting skeet! Pull! Whoosh bang thump! Pull!

I hated wrapping gifts, the X love it. I had an idea for spray on wrapping and a ribbon gun. Got dirty looks for that one. I also showed my family how to use a blow drier to tinsel the tree in ten seconds when it would usually take an hour of painstaking application. Again, not well recieved...
