    Barnacles! What the heck? Is this what they mean by saltwater intrusion? Any horse flies?

    Yea, that stood out like a sore 👍. The only thing I can figure out is that wind, tide, etc. that bit of driftwood made its way up from around Intracoastal City.

    No horse flies or deer flies, but mosquitoes were bothersome.
