This Ancient Egyptian board game is almost 4,000 years old!
Known as ‘Hounds and Jackals’ or ‘Game of 58 holes’, its original name is unknown. It’s suggested it was played in a similar way to ‘Snakes and Ladders’.

It wouldn’t be a trip to Maui without spotting my favorite invasive species, the gold dust day gecko. It posed for this picture, then tried to sell us insurance.

Omgoodness...I LOVE this! 💙💙
An 88-year-old grandfather from Norwalk danced in the Super Bowl halftime show.
He carried Costa Rica’s flag and said he just wanted to “give happiness.”
“In a situation as serious as this, you have to come in with a very positive attitude and a willingness to learn."
We can all learn from him.

Luckily for a Calappa, it can dive into the sand even when there’s no hole to hide in 🦀,,
