Here's a native frog I found swimming in the spa this morning. He's now living in the garden. :)

Hey, he was enjoying that spa!

Yeah, but I didn't think he'd survive long term in the chlorine. He's still in the pot plant I put him in out the side atm, so maybe he likes it there. I tried to pick something he'd blend in with. Check this out.

Focus is shit, but can you spot the froggy?

If he's still there tomorrow, I'm going to try and get some better shots when the dogs and the two year old aren't bothering me. lol

thanks man, it's just getting to know all the bells and whistles. it's user friendly but not user friendly if you know what i mean. i know it takes time. i'll get it. eventually.

very pretty!

This is what happens when you mess with your cellphone while driving about 80+mph and don't wear your seatbelt. One fatality and one seriously injured. You can see the driver's legs at coming out the window. In the center of the photo, the group of firefighters/officers are doing chest compressions. This is just outside my city limits. We were helping with traffic control to get EMS in and out.

Might be nice to show this to your kids before they go out tonight.

Texting drivers are the equivalent of 4x more impaired than a legally drunk driver.

Especially that guy.

I'm impressed that kids of my grand-children's age immediately buckle up
with seat belts, even though sometimes my grown kids forget.

So, I guess I'm too much Old School.
How can anyone think it's OK to "text" while driving.

I have a hard time with Oregon's strict no-cell-phone law,
because I somehow feel talking on a phone is within the bounds.
I drink coffee, I listen to the radio, I yell at the kids when needed.
But I do try very hard to not answer the phone if it rings, and I don't initiate calls.

For me, using a GPS would be too much, let alone surfing the internet while driving.

But "texting" ??? Will somebody please cut off their thumbs.

update on wreck

TUPELO, Miss. (WTVA) - Authorities say one person has died as a result of one of two separate accidents Friday afternoon on Highway 45. Lee County Coroner Carolyn Green notified WTVA.com about the fatality late Friday afternoon. The person is identified as 18-year-old Cetori Morris. Tupelo police say one of the accidents happened around 3:15 p-m when a northbound Chevy Suburban flipped several times and landed on the southbound side of the highway. According to officers, the driver was inside the sport utility vehicle when they arrived, but Morris had been thrown from the vehicle.

Meanwhile, police say a two-car crash happened on the northbound side of Highway 45 near Green Street as the result of the traffic backup from the SUV rollover. One driver was taken to the hospital when his car smashed into another car in front of him.

WOW.
Big car for an 18yo to handle.

Sorry it was a fatality, but who the fuck drives without a seatbelt on these days?

Cars feel so safe.

Maybe we should make them feel more scary again. We could ban front windscreens so you don't forget just how fast you are really going.

We could mandate Corvairs!

Those were cool!
