Hi 'L'ers,
And so it goes. Everyone seemed to have survived the
...
Within two minutes after extinguishing the light, Eduardo
came bursting out of the rubble, and headed straight for
Helmut without any hesitation. I grabbed my camera,
and waited to see what would happen. Eduardo crawled
directly onto Helmut's dorsum and extended his long,
red proboscis around the cowry's shell. Helmut was still
completely retracted into his shell, but sensed immediately
that something was wrong. He went from being totally
withdrawn to having his entire foot extended in a matter
of only two or three seconds (awfully fast for a cowry).
Helmut started trying to climb the glass, and indeed
was lifting the conus magnificus off the bottom, when
Eduardo moved his proboscis around to Helmut's head.
I thought, "This is it for poor Helmut," and snapped a
photo. The rule that the act of observing an event may
actually affect its outcome certainly applied here, but
not in the same sense that the physicists would apply
it. The flash stunned Eduardo for just a moment, long
enough for Helmut to gain an inch of vertical glass and
dump Eduardo off in the gravel.
...
(...to be continued...)
Cheers,
Don
