  51. Today, I went to the beach front with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!

I appreciated how Danny didn't put any pressure on getting the sale. Danny helped with the process and allowed me the time I needed. He was very flexible and made himself available to assist with any questions I had. I would recommend Danny to anyone that wanted a knowledgeable buyer. He was excellent to work with. Thanks Danny.
