X Ray Specs

I remember seeing the Sea Monkeys ads, and thinking how cool they would be.
I also fancied the pasteboard footlocker filled with army men, and the "life sized" nuclear sub.
Unfortunately, postage from the USA was beyond the organisational skills of a 9 year old.

Much later at work, a colleague procured some sea monkeys and set their little tank up on his desk.
We waited for the great hatch.
The same week, an exchange worker arrived form San Jose, who was remarkably unimpressed.
The southern end of the San Francisco bay is teeming with brine shrimp which are dredged out by the tonne for fish food.

We were soon unimpressed by they reluctance to follow training instructions, and their lack of crowns.

Even later, my aquarium interest brought me into regular contact with brine shrimp.
Very popular "first foods" for freshwater fish fry, and extremely easy to raise.
