And then there are the few deplorables who want to have their salary and benefits paid for by the government but don't want to pay taxes, or who think it's OK to support a government by and for just some of the people.

Oh, yeah, I get that, too. It's like the mission we serve has no value to them.

The females are the larger and pairs will come ashore to lay eggs.

It's both bird migration season and horseshoe crab spawning season (at least where I was in FL) so thr birds eat the eggs.

One of my very earliest memories is of watching the horseshoe crabs swimming/mating in the marsh next to my childhood home. No joke.
