According to Wikipedia ….
The barracuda is a ray-finned fish known for its large size (up to 16 ft in length and up to a foot in width, for some species and fearsome appearance. Its body is long, fairly compressed, and covered with small, smooth scales. It is found in tropical and subtropical oceans worldwide.
Barracudas are voracious predators and hunt using a classic example of lie-in-wait or ambush. They rely on surprise and short bursts of speed (up to 27mph (43 km/h) to overrun their prey, sacrificing maneuverability.
Our friend Mark Joseph just authored and released Sarah Barracuda.
Mark, Kara, and their four beautiful daughters came by the house this afternoon following a conference that Mark and I attended over the weekend. Irene was treated to a mini-concert in her honor.
Irene had her first AFTERNOON dialysis session yesterday and also endured two “dull” needles that were also used for the first time. The “dull” needles, as referred by the medical team, are larger needles designed for a better flow but are very uncomfortable to endure for three+ hours. The relentless nausea lingers.
The Joseph family visit was very edifying, as compared to Primary Amyloidosis, which behaves more like a school of Barracudas …. voracious predators that hunt using classic lie-in-wait or ambush strategies.
