Just when you think a day can't get more exciting...it does! The first horseshoe crabs of the season have arrived on shore. I am happy to report that I saved three lives tonight. All young males who obviously haven't read the tide tables for Smithtown Bay yet. I tossed them back into the deeper water at the expense of my non-waterproof shoes. I LOVE horseshoe crabs. If you want to read more about my obsession with the limulus, read a story I wrote for the Long Island Press a few years ago.
