A V Day Squid Hunt

Due to my recent obsession with the aggressive predatory Humboldt Squid (due to global warming they are taking over the Pacific at many different levels of the ocean), I have recently had the inclination to visit one of the many incredible aquariums in California. Mostly, in hopes of seeing a squid but also to enjoy beautiful fish and sea animals. For Valentines Day Bill took me early on Saturday to the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach. We arrived before the children and enjoyed every minute of it. I felt like I was on a school field trip without my teacher. One day, similar to all my favorite rap stars and really cool people, I hope to have a salt water tank. While I believe Bill had hoped to get my underwater discussions (more like Meg retelling the Discovery Humboldt Squid documentary to Bill in animated detail) out of my system, he just put a gallon of gas on my watery world obsessions. I will visit as many aquariums as possible. And yes I did manage to find a squid. I had to push children out of the way to get a picture, so please enjoy.
