I always wondered where all the frogs have gone. When I was a kid growing up, we used to kill frogs down at the pond by the dozens at Boy Scout camp. We'd see their eyes sticking out of the water and we'd smash them with a rock and if we were accurate, they'd go belly up in the water. Then we'd collect them and barbeque their legs on a stick by the campfire.

Bet they don't do that in Boy Scouts anymore!

Anyway, speaking of extinction, whatever happened to all the fireflies in New England? There used to be thousands of them every night in all the back yards. Now nothing. They still have them in Alabama - where I will be in a couple of weeks. But not in New England.

Don't worry. They disappeared for years in Georgia and now they're back.
