Alert!  Boring post about hermit crabs ahead!  Alert!

The hermit crabs made it to Colorado okay.  Except three trips through the x-ray at the airport can't be a good thing :)  But no signs of radioactivity yet LOL! After the Dallas checkpoint I opened the backpack to check on the little critters and the lid had come off and the crabbies were all over my backpack.  Good thing I checked!

We had to use a 10 gallon aquarium.  I'd like to get a bigger one, but certainly not before we move, and I can't justify the expense right now.  Unless one comes up on freecycle.  They have a nice little habitat (or "crabitat" as hermit crab people call it!)

So, Rudi is officially retired!  I don't know how Social Security stuff works, but we got lucky with the woman who is handling his disability and retirement case.  She is super-duper on-the-ball.  She even called him on Saturday to take his applications.  She returns calls within the hour (unheard of! LOL)  We're talking the Social Security Administration here!
