My mother on jellyfish:
I read in the paper about some little unfortunate critters washing up-- not
jellyfish but a relative. After I saw on your log that you had seen some, I
tried to find the article so I could send it to you but no such luck. I
looked through both Friday's and Saturday's Californian. I do remember that
it said the stingers on their tentacles are not strong enough to penetrate
human skin. Apparently they are an open ocean creature, where they are
happy unless a freak wind causes them to drift ashore. I felt sorry for
them.
