(Leo, Evelyn Barraza Snider and Tom Snider)  When I sat with Evelyn and her husband Tom, while gathering information about the Barraza family, I laughed at a flashback they shared. It was a reminder that living in the Canal Zone was not always paradise. During a certain time of the year, sections of the road surface appeared to shift. It was an illusion that occurred due to a natural migration phenonium. Zonians disliked this duration of time. Plus, it caused a share of flat tires. And, the smell during that time of the year was horrendous. Seeing crab claws raised on the edge of roadways, as if they were waiving or hitchhiking, meant that crab mating season had begun.
