How funny! The Atlantic near our eastern coastline is much warmer than the Pacific on our western coastline!

Yes, Medium has been very crash-prone this morning. It was giving me server errors, earlier, while writing my latest poem. (I did manage, finally, to finish and submit it; we should know better than to compose anything online, by now, James.)

How interesting about the vines! (I’ve always heard “pee on a sea urchin spine stuck in you,” which sounds really gross, but pee is sterile unless you have a bladder infection; I know, now, living in Texas that a paste made of water and Adolph’s Meat Tenderizer works wonders for fire ant bites.) And yeah, sharks are cool. Cool, efficient, killing machines. I’d rather not swim with them, but they’re interesting, for sure. I have TOUCHED small sharks in an aquarium “petting pool.” I learned, there, that they TASTE through their skin, which is cool — creepy as hell, but cool. ;) So you could say that I have been tasted by a shark, and that is enough.
