Crawdads

 Hope someday I will get a round to reading my Homeless in Long Beach blog. Just finished reading Delia Owens novel, Where The Crawdads Sing. I did not know what crawdads were. Oh, crayfish!

Those tiny lobster-looking things found inland. I was in Phoenix, I think, when I met a guy who was from Long Beach. I do not remember what he said ~ maybe that he used to go to Scherer Park to catch and eat crayfish. Prior to that day I never knew what those critters were. 

I was amazed when I first saw them, and loved looking for them on return visits to that park. So many forgotten memories.
