I missed writing a blog post last week. It was the snails' fault. So...many...snails!

@mike @AdamStuartSmith Yeah, this week I meet with the board executive committee to propose the 2026 budget, present the monthly financial statement, present the report on last month’s fundraiser, and review deferred maintenance projects, correspond with the city & the water district about traffic flow issues, and approve payroll, while trying to finish text & specimen selection for next week’s exhibit opening. Good times! #museumlife

Kindergartner at mobile museum: What are you wearing?
Me: A shirt.
Her: That’s a Hawaiian shirt. This isn’t Hawaii!
Me: It’s not just for Hawaii.
Her: You’re not at the beach. Why are you wearing it?
Me: Because it’s hot, and it’s a good shirt for that. Also, I think it’s pretty.
Her: Oh, OK. -
New blog post!
My friend Eric was skeptical when I told him I was writing posts about ribs. But he loves food, so I’m starting each rib post with a rib dinner from restaurants near the #museum.
This week, we look at the shape of #ribs which turns out to be pretty critical to staying alive.

We use these signs at the museum when we pull a specimen from exhibit for study.
Someone on my staff attached this one to my office door. That’s the kind of people I hire, apparently.

I need help from the hivemind for a #snail identification. I have 6 of these shells, modern, no locality data. I pretty sure it’s a naticid, possibly Neverita lewisii. Am I on the right track? Thanks!
