Which animal is that?

Ever ask yourself that question?  When I’m spearfishing - I’ve honed recently honed my vocabulary down from “Big/Little/Small” + “fish/dolphin/ray/shark/starfish/snail”….to something more along the lines of “7 inch / 3 foot / 10cm” + “Ling Cod/Common Dolphin/Bat Ray/Black Tip Reef Shark” …etc

Re: Signal To Noise Ratio

Well, It’s been 3 months since I removed a bunch of crap from my life, and I’ve probably made it through some of the heaviest months (in terms of work/life overload).  The test was successful and I’m convinced, less really is more.
