I mean, if you flip it over and look at the legs it's kind of crabby looking.

Time comes for us all.
We found this dead horseshoe crab on the beach today. It had a numbered tag on its shell apparently put there by The Maryland Fish & Wildlife Conservation Office. I've seen many horseshoe crabs here over the years, but never one with a tag. I made sure to go to the website and log it.

Phone through one half of binoculars. Best I could do!

Ships at anchor.
Spotted the Cape Fear tug and Aegea tanker anchored in my parent's backyard.

They don't have to sell hydrogen or solar panels. They'll just keep selling fuel to power plants.
That's a lot of future e-waste to lug around just for cooking.
Their days aren't numbered until governments actually say so. In the meantime, non-GHG emitting sources supply less than half of the world's electricity as is, nevermind the hypothetical demand of a predominantly electrified vehicle fleet.
Unfired pressure vessels are already pretty common common in industrial, commercial, healthcare, transport, and recreational settings. I am comfortable with continuing to trust the engineers as the portion of these vessels that contain hydrogen increases.
Fossil fuels, including coal, are also used to produce electricity. They simply need to be prohibited or at least strictly rationed. Fortunately, hydrogen can be produced without emitting greenhouse gasses because it is still necessary for processes like steel and fertilizer production. It's also a practical replacement for fossil fuels in transportation and, as Toyota demonstrated, food preparation. As I replied to someone else, sometimes we need portability and/or a flame when it comes to cooking. Electricity just doesn't cut it in those cases.
If these are serious concerns for you, I'm sure you will always be able to find plug in electric grills on the market.
What's so exotic about a composite pressure vessel? They're already used in scuba and paintball.
I don't understand this suspicion. It's easier to burn fossil fuels for electricity than to reform them into hydrogen.

Burning sage
My sister had a little ceremony for her son who just turned one year old. It involved some burning sage and, uh, magic mushroom chocolates (for the grown-ups).

Hey, little buddy!
I heard this little guy chirping in a bush while I was cleaning up some dog poop. He didn't flinch when I reached in with my camera to get this shot, so I reached in again and petted him gently with my finger. Hopefully, mom or dad will come back with some food soon.

Ex marks the spot?
I found this marker at one end of the sidewalk of a drawbridge in Lewes, Delaware. There's an identical one at the other end. Any guesses as to what it means?

It's an important ingredient for the safety of injectable drugs and the crabs are returned to the sea alive. If a synthetic alternative takes off, I am concerned that the government will not care as much about protecting this species.
