Creatures Big and Small (at the same time)

Walking home this evening in the dark and a rather heavy mist, we stumbled upon the biggest snail I have ever seen. Just the normal kind you see in their brown shells, but its body, based on the part sticking out, looked as big as a banana slug.

I tried to take a picture with my phone, but sadly between the lack of a flash, poor resolution, distance from street lights, and precipitation, there isn't even a point in taking up picture-storage space on my blog with the picture. Too bad - you would have loved it.

This weather sure is getting us ready for Ireland!

How is it that you always seem to have a vacation planned when you start a new job?! You have a remarkable skill at that!
