Jan 28 jellyfish Texas state aquarium.jpg

On the Texas coast 50 degrees is considered very, very cold.
Too cold to venture out into the blustery elements, in fact.

Soooooo...off to the aquarium it was.

Here are some of the residents at that facility.

I'm not one to just gaze at them.
I find it necessary to be controversial....
I said to my exceptionally bright 10 year old nephew
"Just think....if you go back far enough in the earth's history we humans
share a common ancestor with these interesting creatures".

He pensively said "yeah, that's cool".

My concise, perhaps arguable, statement drew a look of certain disapproval
from an adjacent group of onlookers.

These are amazing! And thank Goodness for your contraversial statement. Everyone should know and understand just what it is they believe and why!
