banana slug

I forgot to say that yesterday at Tilden Park when I got creeped out by the inchworms in a final way, I told Erik, "I'm going to the car--you can stay here."

He said, "I'll be there in a few minutes," and I was walking up a path back to the car, and there was a banana slug. I'd had enough of vermiforms and passed by quickly.

Then when I saw Erik walking up the path, I opened the car door and yelled, "Watch out for the banana slug!"

"Where is it?" he asked.

"On the path!" I said. And he didn't step on it.
