The single oyster is engineered by offering to them a single grain of sand to attach to at the moment they looking for a live oyster reef on which to attach. The 30,000 baby oysters we planted last week will grow as singles. They are safe from predators, cozy in floating bags, but they would rather be a reef. The animal is the reef., stony dragons, acres long, stretching out along the bottom of the bay. In the West End (ATL) Krispy Kreme last night, there was a line of humans waiting for the single cashier to pull their hot donuts off the conveyor belt, an eager patience humming through the line. As the oyster reef is animal, this line was the creature, breathing in warm sweetness, breathing out goodwill.
