3. I always used to come back from the beach with 50 pounds of seashells....
I never did anything with them, but couldn't NOT pick them up.

It was 2005 when I developed a better plan: instead of picking up
the biggest and shiniest shells, I looked for the SMALLEST and
most perfect ones.

So nowadays, I still come back from the beach with 2000 seashells,
but they fill a ziplok baggie instead of filling my entire car trunk.

Somewhere, I have another conch shell that is just as perfect as that one,
but it's about the size of Roosevelt's EAR on that dime.
It looks like a large grain of sand until you see it through a magnifying glass.

2. We have a couple of hermit crabs that could fit in there....
But it would be WAY too damn heavy for them to even try to stand up. Most of them are much larger, but we do still have a few dinky ones.
