does this look like styrofoam to you?
Actually, looks kind of like Airsoft BBs.
It must be very small, very regular spherical hailstones that don’t clump.
Yeah, that must be it.
Or airsoft bb’s. Noah liked airsoft. Why, he used to shoot the animals when they weren’t looking, and they’d just spin around and nip at the spot where he shot them and not be able to tell where it came from… Noah laughed when that happened. Sick puppy, that Noah.
