    Great stuff Gabe. There are some really giant John Deere trucks that are all outfitted with equipment that clean through the sand, about a foot down I would guess, and keeps the trash. The machines are some really, modern pieces of Ingenuity.... It warmed my heart to see how well these trucks did for the beaches, one of my favorite places to be.

My brother's in-laws, on siesta key, pretty much have lost their home. There was damage from Helene and then my brother went out there Saturday and sent me pictures of what was left of the house. Who's suffered damage at his house is well in Bradenton.

    The first time that I went to the ocean beach we caught a big sand flea and thought it was some kind of crab. Years later to catch them, we would just dig a hole on the edge of the wave action and just sit and keep digging in the hole and keep catching them. One of my favorite videos is watching my nieces catching sand fleas in the hole. Always fun.
    Never tried to eat one though. I've seen other videos of people cooking and eating them, and they always get a mixed review.
    Many thanks, thoughts and prayers to you and your family, and for the all the people you've helped after the storms. God bless you all.

    City of Cocoa Beach has a “ beach cleaner” . Like a street sweeper… Brevard County does not clean the beaches… nor Cape Canaveral or any beach to the south of CB that I know of. Getting that foam off the beach also helps to save the sea turtles & shore birds. Everyone going to the beach should take extra store bags of garbage bags! Many THANKS TO ALL THAT FO ❤️🙏

    I'd like to make a suggestion about your storage of the sand flea for long-term bait usage. If you were to super saturate some water with salt, you could store them without blanching or boiling them. Blanching and/or boiling them makes them hard to manage on a hook. The jar of water will need to be stored in a freezer but should not freeze. When you store the fleas, just toss them in the super salty water live for best results.
