crabby

the blue crabs are out in full force these days

you see them in the garden
(destroying plants.. argh!)

on pathways

on the road

i knew a gringo here who hated the blue crabs

so everytime he saw one on the road he would run it over

it was a sadistic pleasure of his

'ahha got another one!!'

but the problem was that they 'got' him in the end

when one of their pinchers put a hole in the tire of his car

i know it wasn't nice but i laughed when i heard that

it isn't just gringos that hate these little critters

but so do dogs

today moto, our dog was going crazy barking at it,

nipping at it, and basically trying to eat it

it is strange

can you imagine a north american dog trying to eat a crab??

i can't

but island dogs enjoy the crab meat.

strange eh?

who told the dogs that crab meat is good eatin'??!

:-)

i am happy to say that no crab was injured in this photo shoot

carlos managed to pick up the crab and throw it over the fence

i was proud of him because the local people love crabs..

in their soup!

i am glad he didn't kill it and take it home to mama

it isn't easy being a blue crab here in roatan

tis a dangerous place..

and for the record...

this blasted heat is making me crabby!

september is unbearable here because the trade winds stop blowing

and it is just HOT

the good thing is that in my crabbiness no one tried to run me over,

no dog tried to eat me

so i guess it is okay

i just regret not going out to run errands with bob in the a/c car today

instead i stayed home and roasted to death

yes i am complaining.

unashamed

crabby

moto get away from that crab mister!
