+++Monterey Bay Aquarium answered+++
We got an answer! Monterey Bay Aquarium made a suggestion. Gumboot chiton! At the first try to identify, the columnist thought the same, but scrapped this thought because of the red color.
Now the columnist found pictures in the net on this site: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mountainron/
and here: http://beachwatchers.wsu.
with the explanation that the red color sometimes, after storm, is rubbed away.
Gumboot chiton, Cryptochiton stellerie, a German name is missing but it counts in the taxonomy to the class of “Käferschnecken” which belong to the “Stachelweichtiere”.

+++Question of the day+++
What is it?
Located on the beach in Half Moon Bay, looks like a Bollillo breakfast roll from Safeway, it’s firm like ebonite and inside are something like bone plates. If you know the answer or if you know somebody who maybe knows the answer, please ask and let us know. Our hope is in Berlin, there is somebody who knows somebody who has knowledge in marine biology.
Please discuss with us in the Graugrünen Kasten in the sidebar or use e-mail or Gästebuch.

Extended birthday brought tiredness. Even a late Italian dinner couldn’t bring the expected results. Next try is to jump forward in time by passing the international date line. If the aging process can’t be slowed down by time-jumps maybe healthy food, less alcohol and bare food workouts will help.

Summary of the election: Exciting evening in front of the TV, it was like an American ball game:
For Non-Americans it’s not that easy to understand the rules of that game. From time to time it happens something and the crowd is cheering, the rest of the game is boring. Californian voters had also to decide about a lot of propositions.
They decided for example that the death penalty will not be removed and genetic food doesn’t require labeling. We absolutely do not agree with this decisions. The only thing we can do: shaking the head and asking ourselves: WHY?

+++Columnist related to world’s recent most active volcano+++
The International Geograffities Team does not spare expense nor effort to explore the beauty and the speciality of Big Island. The way to the recent most active volcano in the world was sown with difficulties and highlights. They travelled with a Jeep to the most southern point of the USA, strong wind and sandstorm on the way.
Southend of the Nation!
The way was hard. 2 miles felt like 15 miles.
Columnist on the end of her mental strength, she preferred to walk a while.

Sacrifices to calm the gods, it seems that it’s working. The volcano just steams a bit.
