Are snails uncommon in Buffalo? If you ever go to the Oregon coast, especially if it's damp (which is most of the time) you'll see millions of giant, ugly gray slugs. Come to think of it, I'm not sure they have many snails in shells. There are lots of snails in California. And if you dig deep enough under the ground in Arizona, there are snails and giant toads that only come out every few years during floods. It's like the Night of the Living Dead!

Dear Diary, I love this intel about California and its giant, ugly gray slugs! Snails are not uncommon here, I guess -- I just never looked for them before. Imagine digging down into the dirt in Arizona and coming up with a giant toad! I'll have to go there and bring my Seek app. Fascinating, all of this! Thank you for this comment which is like nothing I would have dreamed up!
