Red Tide

Being formerly from California, red tide time meant going to the beach after dark. One of my first memories was shaking a jar of beach sand in my closet and watching it glow, I was probably 4. Any question as to why I studied marine biology in college?

At least in California, when it was dark, even dog footprints would glow like magic. If conditions were perfect, we could walk the beach, watch the waves and have it magically glowing very dramatically, and the dog was fully illuminated. Dolphins, Sea Lions, Elephant Seals? Unreal.

Hopefully it will be magical here. If not, that's OK. Life here is magical!
