a clutch and a crab

today, i get a new clutch on my harley.  AND today, i get a new hermit crab.  good day all around. my little guy francis is lonely after the passing of james, and i felt it time to get him a new friend.  i think this time, i'll opt for the medium variety, as the small variety, while cuter, are just not as resilient.  let's take a look at the hermit crab progression in the reemts household:  

• first crabs:  francis & cameron
  
• first crab casualty:  cameron, 1 week later
  
• new crab acquisition:  cliff & james, so now i have 3 - francis, cliff, james
  

**note:  was warned not to name a new one cliff..as he might live up to his name.

• second crab casualty:  cliff (noted, he did live up to his namesake, though he wasn't in a bus accident, just got sick)
  
• new crab acquisition:  NONE - just sticking with francis and james for now
  
• third crab casualty:  james - the 10 days we were away in sturgis didn't fare well for james
  

so now poor francis, oddly my first little guy, is all alone.  new crab day!
