Very cold to muggy overnight here. Was driving through some rather dense cotton on the island last night when I realized it was actually fog. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once down here (warm, drizzly night) I hit a frog migration crossing Hwy 98 sufficiently dense that it caused my old '60 Fairlane to hydroplane.

Last thing I want is for my tires to get to feeling froggy. Couldn't imagine that happening anywhere outside of Australia. Would've been the most disgusting wreck ever. Very happy it didn't happen. The fog takes some getting used to, no doubt. Also, almost no streetlights in my neighborhood. Very eerie. I love that part, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was hanging out in my sleeve. They like to burrow, so he likes it in there. When we pull them out of their cage, that’s generally where they’ll hang out unless they’re parked on a shoulder or Jillian’s lap. Fun little buggers and very sweet.
