Wandering Adventure Party

These guys always made me feel uncomfortable. I would collect and eat them, and the remains would run away afterward.

It’s true! I would collect them in a pail from the tidal pools as a child. I would crack them open with whatever I had available and eat them, and the halves would still be running around on the ground after I discarded the rest.

The parts of urchin, the remains, they would skitter around and bunch up in one corner of the yard trying to get away like they didn’t realize they’d been eaten yet even though there was nothing left inside.

A close friend of mine used to work for the EPA until last year. He described it as an organization that formalizes bribes for exceptions, a simple cost of doing business.

But of course, billionaires are so greedy that that wasn’t good enough and they don’t want to pay the bribes anymore.

Dopamine doesn’t flood the brain as once believed – it fires in exact, ultra-fast bursts that target specific neurons. The discovery turns a century-old view of dopamine on its head and could transform how we treat everything from attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) to Parkinson’s disease.

I tried. This isn’t a very good video, but you can kinda see it’s still trying to crawl away after it’s been eaten at several points. I might have had 20 or so in a pile fresh out of the water and they were much more active. I hope this helps.

I like the fat ones. The long ones don’t taste good.
