ugh... Yes that is a slug

On my walk down this path to my building at work this morning I was surprised to see this HUGE slug. Yes, of course I see small, very small slugs daily, but this slug was huge. I didn't have anything but my shoe to use as a reference (I wear a size 9)... the slug was 3/4 the size of my shoe. Yuck! I waited awhile to make sure that it made it safely to the other side of the path into the garden.
