...oh, and did I mention that cold-blooded reptiles like salamanders like to rest on steel rails, since it helps them regulate their body heat?

It took me a couple of years to figure out why I'd find, rather frequently, dead scorpions around where we'd park in the garage, or where visitors would park in the driveway....until it dawned on me that at night, the little buggers would head for the warm (by comparison) tires, and get offed when the car got moved.

sauteed or baked? ;-)

Your link to Minniesoota is showing. Us natives know you roll them in a egg wash and real bread crumbs and fry them in a cast iron skillet.

I will be passing through Half Moon Bay on the 19th and I'm taking my Daddy's frog gig...

Naw, keep me on- I'll have plenty to wade through, so a little more shouldn't matter. I'd forgotten how wretched dialup was- but it's coming back to me!

Lying in wait, khakis waist deep in water, camera at the ready, Giorni says he encountered a California red-legged frog on a piece of Half Moon Bay property slated for one of the biggest developments the coast has seen in two decades.

Gasp! You don't say! What a shockingly propitious coincidence.

It would seem that this case has lynx with others we have seen.

Isn't the California red-legged frog the one you raise in the 'other' room for snacks during the NASCAR races. Fried frog legs are grrrreat!
