I have this little brass statuette of a snail somewhere that my grandpa gave to me a long time ago.

It looks kind of like this.

I don't know why he had a brass snail. Maybe he used it as a paperweight or something, but I've had it forever. It's one of the few things I have from him, he lived in Washington most of my life and died when I was ten. He'd had a stroke a couple years after I was born and lingered for a while. He was fiercely independent and liked to do what he could for himself. He died when he hit his head after falling while shaving.

I don't like snails. When they come out after it rains, I keep stepping on the little fuckers on accident. How has this lifeform existed for so long when we're ACCIDENTALLY killing them all the damn time???

They perform some function really really well and there will always be more snails to replace the ones you step on, along with many, many more.

A lot of them also live where humans don't go all that often.
