What is this little guy?

Saw this little one just a few nights ago on the patio. I believe it's a snail but what kind? We had a good rain recently and some warm weather. I had never seen such a shell before. The desert has so many surprises.

Fish pedicures creating something of a "splash"

Fish pedicures are creating something of a splash in the Washington D.C. area, where a northern Virginia spa has been offering them for the past four months. John Ho, who runs the Yvonne Hair and Nails salon with his wife, Yvonne Le, said 5,000 people have taken the plunge so far.

The toothless Garra rufa, or doctor fish nibble away dead skin from the toes of their "clients." What a great idea! I'd try it just to see how it feels.

Nature, how wonderful to be a part!
