2. Since people were wearing blow up frog suits to attend

peaceful demonstrations in Portland.

We used to put on our rubber boots, step into the algae covered frog ponds and spot frogs (only their eyes above the water/scum line), catch them, then let them go. It was pure joy.

14. That is music to my ears. I used to sleep outside in the tent all summer

at the cottage. I bought a machine to replicate frog and bug noises to fall asleep to as an adult. I love ocean wave sounds too.
