I saw one of those Cuban frogs tonight but it was way up in the entryway on the outside of the house. I see them there sometimes when I go for food runs (tonight it was to Starbucks). It was "safe" for now but Dad and I may have to tag-team them. Like maybe I spray it with a hose and when it jumps down Dad can whack it. You're braver than I am, Elfie. No way I would touch one! I'll let caterpillars crawl on me all day long but most other things freak me out. I know, I'm silly.

As for the bees, we just had three men in New Port Richey that were stung over 50 times each. Here's the article: http://tbo.com/pasco-county/pa...

What it doesn't say is that they were trying to get the honey out of the hive. That was on the TV news. Also, the next day a professional beekeeper came and took the hive. With all the talk of colony collapse disorder and bees disappearing, I always wonder if beekeepers are like, "Yeah! Free bees!" Does anyone know any beekeepers that have done this? Do they keep the bees or just relocate them to a safer "wild" area? Also, I had no idea a hive could have 20,000 to 30,000 bees. Wow!
