Rats, robins and seagulls - OH MY!

Exhibit A


Before we left (carrying only our humble luggage....sniff) we went to check on the quaint and unusually eccentric snail family living in the above plant.
WHA??????? We dug and dug as deep and fast as our little flying fists would take us and
'couldn't come up with a SINGLE snail - let alone a "mister and missus!"
And they were so pretty too - brown and white "whirleygigs" - that was their official genus per "google" and you KNOW we swear by the "googler."
We wanted to know what might looked up have beFALLEN them so we contacted our favorite malacologist , Dr. Stephanie (See Exhibit A) sitting with "him" at an outdoor cafe - and there is NO SIGN of me there and "he" KNOWS how much I *double heart* outdoor cafes!
Anyway, we ***heart*** her!
She knows everything about the little crawly critters.
Anyway, sob, sob - she said they MIGHT have been eaten by RATS, ROBINS, SEA GULLS, or......they MIGHT have been kidnapped and taken away by aliens from another PLANET!! Surely, dear "blogee" even YOU (no offense intended as you KNOW how we ***feel about YEW!) can see the whole north side of Chicago is in DIRE straights regarding danger from an unknown planet who is coming to either INVADE us or (shudder..) KIDNAP us and perform strange experiments on our........regions,
Well, "blogee" - don't say I didn't TELL YOU!! Now its every specimen for themselves -including me and Bobby - so without further adieu.....
nice knowin' ya!!
