Today we were snorkeling.

My wife and I, she is pregnant with our third child.

So she's not been doing a lot of snorkeling,

but today we went out together into this bay in the Caribbean sea and you know there's like a

hierarchy of things that you like to see when you go snorkeling. I don't know if you have you

been snorkeling I haven't but I'm very curious about

this hierarchy. Well so like an octopus is this is this like a terror hierarchy or a like

thrill hierarchy not terror terror, thrill, thrill,

thrill.

Appreciation of nature hierarchy.

So an octopus is, at least in our family and the extended friends

An octopus is kind of like the top of the top of the food chain if you see an octopus you had a great day because they're like they're so cool you know okay they're like

change a color and they're shy and if you see an octopus you're like wow that's

amazing a sting ray is pretty cool but but an eagle ray is way better.

An eagle ray is like it kind of, it kind of, it kind of, it looks like an eagle under the water.
