I can still hear the "crunch" under my shoes... or the car's tires.


I can still feel the feeling of 1000 nails puncturing my feet as I walked the shell lot from the local pool to the car.

Definitely remember that. Just another in a long line of actions taken that destroyed our coast. Removing the coastal bedrock and using it to make roads. Great move.

We used to have one when I was a kid. But they were not bleached. They smelled horrible for half the summer when we had to add more. Finally we paved it.

Had a construction project where we had to lay drainage pipe across I-10 near the super dome. Several feet of clam shells underneath
