STEWARD'S MATE AT HIS BATTLE STATION

Their routine job on shipboard is serving the chow lines, but at the call to general quarters steward's mates have posts on the deck guns or as talkers in the battle communications systems on Coast Guard fighting ships. This portrait of a typical Coast Guard steward's mate* is by Coast Guard Combat Artist Tore Asplund, chief boatswain's mate, of New York City, an invasion veteran.

IN REWRITING CAPTION, PLEASE MENTION "COAST GUARD."

Animal of the Day!

Christmas Tree Worm (Spirobranchus giganteus)

(Photo from Oceana)

Conservation Status- Unlisted

Habitat- Indo-Pacific Ocean; Atlantic Ocean

Size (Weight/Length)- 38 mm

Diet- Zooplankton; Detritus; Phytoplankton

Cool Facts- Upon first glance, you might think that the Christmas tree worm is a plant rather than an animal. The majority of the worm is actually buried in coral. They then build a complex tube around their soft body that serves as the worm’s forever home. The Christmas tree worm releases a pair of ‘crowns’ that is part of their mouth, sort of like a tongue. The appendages can be used for catching prey along with circulating water through their gills. When their ‘crowns’ retreat fully into their mouth, sharp spines are extended to further protect the worm from harm.

Rating- 13/10 (Symbiotic relationship with coral is still being researched.)

Patrick Mahomes on Taylor Swift in recent interview with NFL on NBC:

''I think it's been cool to see the girls and the women that have really embraced watching football and I know how being a girl dad how much and how cool it is for me […] And then meeting Taylor I realized how genuine and cool she is. I mean I think that's been special to me cause she's the most famous person in the world. She could not be (interested) and she's really interested in football and she asks a lot of great questions. She's already drawing up plays, so we might have to put one in.''

Well folks, you heard Lucy. Save the date for the 28th of September. Wedding day! Surely nothing bad will happen until then. It'll be just fine.
