Did you ever wonder why frogs seem pretty docile?
Me either, but I just figure that killing/eating bugs and always being "hoppy" could make them just another food group.
Around this zip code the rain has somehow given permission for the crickets to invade my house. Not that crickets are bad, but they sure are noisy little effers at 2am. I prefer them as fishing bait for Mr Bass and his buddies.
Ok, now get back to the boring surveying talk..... 😉
Frogs are happy, because they eat what bugs them.
Crickets are always singing...., and that makes the frogs happy!
Makes me want to go fishing.

Present. May I be of assistance?
“Did you ever wonder why frogs seem pretty docile?”
Personally, I haven’t given it much thought.
And that’s because I’m currently trying to figure out what happened to Hop Sing, Papino, and Ernst T. Bass after Roy Rogers (faithful dog) "Bullet", bit Eddie Haskell in the ass and Ward sued Captian Kangaroo, Aunt Bee, and then Papino…..oh well back to Surveying...;-)
Hop Sing
Back in the '90s I was staking CL for the Creek Turnpike on the south side of Tulsa. Over on the east side of town, south of Catoosa there was a four or five mile stretch that ran through one of Sam (Wal Mart) Walton's sister's place.
Being a rich hooptie-doo the county allowed them to close all the section line roads that ran through their ten or twelve square mile ranch. One big pain-in-the-ass.
Every day we had to pull up to a gate at the "big house" and gain entry to the property. The "house boss" was an older oriental fella. He would come out after we rang the bell and open the gate. We'd tell him where we were going and he would scramble some hired hands in pickups to go open the necessary gates. It wasn't long until he earned the name "Hop Sing".
One evening as we were leaving he came out to secure the gate. I told him we would be back in the morning. He said ok. Then he leaned in the window, and in his best pidgeon-english said, "You no call me Hop Sing no more! My name Bin Tran!"
I was speechless. I had no idea how he new what we had nicknamed him. I guess one of the ranch hands had spilled the beans. I told him, "You got it, Bin." He winked and smiled.
We still called him Hop Sing. But only off site. :snarky:

Off site, yes, unless one enjoys decapitation via an unseen weapon of some sort. 😉

The male Darwin's Frog swallows eggs laid by the female and lets the tadpoles grow in its throat!
Oh my

Lord, Oh Mighty, slight of mind kind of describes that mishmash.

Bonanza, The Real McCoys, The Andy Griffith Show, Roy and Dale singing Happy Trails to You, Leave it to Beaver (twice), Captain Kangaroo and The Andy Griffith Show and The Real McCoys again.
Butt, and that's a scrawny butt, I think Ward would cheer boisterously if Eddie Haskell had a significant mishap.
Now, if we could only teach you how to spell corectally.
Ok, I can't resist, but didn't Wally tell Ward.... you've been kind of tough on the Beaver.... as June was smiling.
No, it was June who asked Ward "You were a little hard on the Beaver last night, don't you think?"
Well Dave, we didn't get 86'd by Wendell.... so it must be true regardless of who said it. That ole' June was a Gemini, just like me. Gotta love it.
cheers & have a great weekend.
