Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a
sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed.
There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back!

I am fortunate sufficient to reside in an region exactly where I can divert my bigger waste water like washing machine water & bathwater away from my septic tank and
leech field, but I know most areas will not allow this.

storage of solid waste at the supply.
