Sea Slugs . . . and Other Slimy Stuff

You may think slugs are repellent. My wife contended with foot-long ones that would slither into her house in San Francisco on damp days (every day) and attempt to absorb the cat food by the door. When I was a boy, I actually found slugs beautiful in a strange way, and I’d sit and stare at them as they inched their gluey way up a concrete stair (I was an odd boy). E-Verser Cynthia, who recently joined the Polar Bear Club, says we should have a look at David Doubilet’s photographs for National Geographic, which, we are promised, bring out the “glamor” of the sea slug.
