Ellen,

Thanks for looking for the magazine as I am sure others are interested.  I
agree about not keeping the blue-ring octopus as a pet, but....  The
interesting thing is that it has one of the better survival rates in
captivity.  Too mean to die maybe.  I think there may be a basic
relationship among various toxins as different animals came up with the best
method of subduing prey.

I understand about messes.  My shell room is a disaster right now.  I
literally just found a note to myself from months ago about changing the
identity of some shells.  However, all is not lost as they are now correctly
named, at least until another change happens.
