 I don't care how nice that hand soap smells, you should never walk out of the restroom sniffing your fingers!  (Stocky Hawkfish)

 This interesting critter is a Bluespine Unicornfish. Those spines are like scalpels and the vivid color draws attention to them to let other fish know that he's "packing"  some serious weapons!

 This curious little critter is a boxfish. Like birds, the male, shown here, displays bright vibrant colors to attract a female who, by comparison, is dull and drab. Never say this to her face!

Although they appear to be anything but streamlined, they actually have an extremely low coefficient of drag and, in fact, were used by Mercedes to design a car called the Bionic.

                                             Even an Octopus appreciates a good rub!


BTW, there's a great show on Nat Geo called "Secrets of the Octopus." It's also streaming on Disney+ and Hulu.

Arnie, the Ornate Butterflyfish, was more than a little disappointed by this year's Easter Buffet! Hmm, he mused, I see only one bland entree and no dessert options! Sigh!

 Peacock Groupers were introduced from French Polynesia in 1956. This one is a juvenile. The fish never caught on with anglers and unfortunately the fish has proliferated. It  is now eating it's way through our native species. When are we going to realize that WE are not "mother nature?" Sigh!

Sigh! I never get tired of looking at my reflection. I am so hot! Who needs a mirror when the water surface is available?

 You know you are getting old when friends with benefits means knowing someone who can drive at night.

                      (Redlip Parrotfish)

 Many fish derive their names based upon a displayed pattern(Bluestripe Snapper), a color(Grey Chub), a physical attribute(Flying Fish) or physical appearance(Longnose Butterflyfish). Today's fish is a member of the Parrotfish family and the distinctive pattern around his eye marks him as a Star-Eye Parrotfish. OK, class dismissed!

                 I have many hidden talents. I just wish I could remember where I had them!

                          The older I get the more I understand why roosters scream to start their day!

There's a fine line between a numerator and a denominator. Only a fraction of people will fine this funny.

 This Hawaiian cleaner Wrasse has set up a 'cleaning station' and is in the process of attending to the needs of the Convict Tang. Gotta keep the gills clean and free of parasites! The adjacent Ornate Butterflyfish with his dorsal fin extended is likely signaling "me next!"

  Historically, in Hawaii moi(Pacific Threadfin) was a delicacy reserved for male royalty; commoners caught eating the fish faced severe punishment.

                  I too was once a male trapped in a female body! But then, my mother gave birth!

      Folgers got it wrong! The best part of waking up is going back to bed after you pee!

 We don't have a Hanukkah Wrasse, nor a Kwanzaa Wrasse or a Festivus Wrasse, but we DO have a Christmas Wrasse. All bedecked in colorful Christmas colors, this beauty is all dressed up and ready to 'party' through New Years!

 The streamer octogenarians, twins since birth, are heading to the cafeteria to look for some adult beverages. Metamucil or Ensure.

Ahh, the beautiful Pearl Wrasse, so named for the many strings of pearls she adorns herself with! Looking "hot" Pearlie!

 I was really 'blown away' by this video of an octopus working its way through a complex maze and thought I would share it.

Exercise helps you with decision-making. It’s true. I went for a run this morning and decided I’m never going again.

  What did our parents do to kill boredom before the internet?  I asked my 26 brothers and sisters and they didn’t know either.
