Happy Taco Tuesday, everybody.

If you are by chance indulging in a taco or 10, I'm not judging, at the moment, I'm going to go ahead and suggest that you pause me for a few and finish your lunch before you listen.

Because today's taco break is grotesque. What's it about? Feet. Severed feet.

Lots of them, washing up on the shores of the Salish Sea in the Pacific Northwest and Canada for

The Salish Sea is a network of coastal waterways connected to the North Pacific Ocean.

The Salish Sea essentially separates southwest British Columbia from Washington, the state of Washington, at the very tippy-top northwest corner of Washington.

A family vacationing from Washington found a white and blue mesh running shoe on the beach.
