Zebra Mussels got into Lake Erie bunch a years ago and the population exploded so fast people were worried the colonies would block stuff, whole waterways by some estimates. But it turned out they were living off something in the water “that made the water cloudy and brown”, idk pollutants or an algae thing? So after a few years there was less of that food source and the Zebra Mussel population found an equilibrium.

Commitment, enthusiasm, problem solving, focus, team work.

So in the Australian “Secrets of the Zoo” the handlers call them “Little” Penguins. I’ve heard all three names used interchangeably, from the US, haven’t zero’d in on the regionality of the names, so where you at? Also the zoo show is in Sydney.

1 blue box Mac, finished + 1 ramen pack, finished = ‘Hate Pot’ cause you’ll hate how much you like it.

Can be some dishes though, feeds two in a sitting, double to feed four, grab a fork and gather round the combination. Soul food for 90s latchkey kids
