My grandfather's grandfather was killed when a bale crushed him during a rain storm. I didn't know about that before my fear set in. Does that make it less irrational?

When I lived in Madison, the weeds in the lake went through die-off periods due to the overpopulation that came with fertilizer run off. What a smell! It would sometimes carry for blocks away from the lake itself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-43549630666097611352009-01-31T00:15:00.000+11:002009-01-31T00:15:00.000+11:00I've never been to a beach with a lot of seaweed b...I've never been to a beach with a lot of seaweed but I don't think I'd like it, either. I, too, like to see where I'm walking -- I really don't even like to get too far out in the ocean anymore -- and, if I'm in a lake, I wear water shoes because I hate the way the bottom feels.Lynn Irwin Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11902088926070471878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-75586923930617339642009-01-30T22:59:00.000+11:002009-01-30T22:59:00.000+11:00It certainly left an impression on me Kathy!Kat, i...It certainly left an impression on me Kathy!<BR/><BR/>Kat, it's the texture for me as well.

I hate it. There are critters in there that will bite your toes.<BR/><BR/>That being said, they make lovely rubber shoes that make me feel very safe.<BR/><BR/>And, one of my most evocative olfactory memories (yes, it's a word to lots of you! I just learned it!) memories of arriving in Adelaide with my children in the beginning of April with piles and piles (we're talking 10ft high) of seaweed on the beach.<BR/><BR/>And they STINK!!Strumpethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16907945254899978008noreply@blogger.com
