Good Friday morning.

I turned 160,000 miles on my 911 at the last autocross. I suspect I will have another 5K or so after I get back from Yankee land & Canada this summer.

We had a big toad in our front yard a few years back. It was about 6 inches across. He learned to sit by the garden perimeter lights and eat the June bugs that the light attracted. It would leave the resultant deposits on the sidewalk. I mentioned that to my mom.

Now my mom was not a typical mom. Se was crazy about any animal and was a Docent at the zoo. She volunteered more hours at the zoo than any other person for several year in a row. If she was not home, she was at the zoo. She had a pet tarantula and she called this my sister.



Anyway she informed me that what I had called a toad turd was actually a toad "spool."

So I carefully collected the spools and she took them to the zoo for the education department to preserve for display. Last time I went to the education building at the zoo they still ere using the toad spool from my front yard.




This is Charlie the 6 foot boa constrictor she hauled around to take to schools to show kids.
