James BoagWhen you think about it, it's the worst possible place for her to sell seashells.
Perkins@JamesBoag In old Florida (can't speak for it now) there would be these large souvenir stores JAMMED with crazy shells. Nowadays it's mostly t-shirts and hats, etc. But back in the day, the good shells were often found at wherever she was selling them.

kctipton@JamesBoag Ah, but the supply chain issues are nonexistent! Selling seashells in the mountains would be much more tricky.

Gwyn@JamesBoag We can order sea shells for $16 per kilo from AliExpress, according to my husband... and take them to a beach that doesn't have sea shells! Tourists would totes buy them! 😛
@GwynHannay Yes I've discovered that logs are cheaper here in Scotland that they are in Australia, So I send my friend good scottish logs to burn in his fire pit.
Just good cooperation, No nasty fossil fuels burned everyone nice and warm ;~)

Mathijs@JamesBoag wasn't that rhyme about an actual woman doing some awesome scientific research into fossils?
ChurchHatesTucker ☑@mvgorcum @JamesBoag The trick is, you don't sell ordinary seashells. You sell fossils.
