Nothing exciting on my beach walk this morning.

I came back and made my wife her favorite breakfast. Home grown tomatoes on Guacamole with home grown parsley with bananas and local blueberries on Daves Killer Bread. (I generally don't eat this)

This Long Nose I have had a short while. Maybe 2 or 3 months, and because he is so small, I need to make sure he gets enough to eat because their mouth is so small. The normal food I feed every day is LRS food with some earthworms or chopped clams.

Small fish like this with such small mouths need tiny, soft foods. Small Copperbands have the same issues.
These juvenile fish should be fed a couple of times a day, which is why I am sure to feed at least a few live white worms every morning.

He eats more and faster than the rest of my fish, so it's no problem. Many people have problems with these types of fish because they either feed them the wrong things or don't feed them anything they can easily eat, like live worms.

I have had quite a few of these and copper bands over the years since the 70s, and I feel that is the problem with these. They are big feeders and, unfortunately, were designed with tiny mouths, so on the reefs, they need to constantly feed.

These are easy fish to keep; we just need to be able to meet their needs. Dry foods, pellets, and God Forbid, freeze-dried won't do it long term, even if they will eat such things, which most of them won't.

Good Morning. Today's beach walk was uneventful. Just another beautiful morning but the sunrise was kind of blah so I didn't film it.

The tide is high so the sand was full of seaweeds.

Plenty of bladderwrack seaweeds but I don't think this will last long in my tank.

Then I found this very cool seaweed but I didn't have anything to put it in so I had to leave it there. I don't know what it is

On my way back from my morning walk a strange thing happened.
As I was nearing my house I saw this very bright light. It was so bright that I couldn't look straight into it.
Alien Light.jpg


I immediately realized that an Alien ship had landed right near my home.
For some reason it landed behind a parked Mack Truck.

I was amazed, aghast and scared at the same time and I knew that at any second I would be beamed aboard that ship and transported to an unknown galaxy where they would do un-heard of eerie, un-earthly experiments on me.

My mind raced and I immediately thanked God that earlier this morning I took a shower and put on clean underwear because my Mother always told me, if I had to go to a hospital or have any medical tests, make sure to have clean underwear on or they will throw you out.

I was in awe and too afraid to turn around and run so I kept walking to the light as if it had some kind of evil power over me.

I got closer and closer until I plainly saw it.

It was a Toyota Land Cruiser, and the sun was glaring off the side windows.

Then I had to go inside and change my underwear again. :oops:

So I went on a fishing boat and my friend who I went with told me his Grand Son's picture is on Facebook with pictures of him. I was also there a few weeks earlier and I wanted to see if my Grand Sons picture was on theere.

I don't go on Facebook and haven't looked at it in years so when I tried to access the stupid thing.
I got this:

Paul, These platforms suck.
I purchased 2 generator investor via Paypal. Few hours later I discovered was a scam. They used very light grey in website name but looked like it was from a major company. I out a dispute in with PayPal and got my money back. They disabled my account and no way to reverse it. From what little info I could get seems scammer went back told PayPal I was the scammer. I provided screenshots and the contact number was a doctor office out of state. So screw them and opened a Sells account using my bank.
