I really wanted to type "sunburned," but for some reason the "t" just made more sense. We're back from our surprise trip to Corpus Christi. Surprise! That's where I got burnt. Other than the skin side of things, we had a thoroughly enjoyable time. I had some REALLY GOOD tuna. Oh man.
The news item of the day caught my eye with the title, "Frog Communicates With Ultrasound!" I immediately clicked the link, thinking all the time of a frog who snuck into an obstetrician's office and hijacked the ultrasound machine in order to make his demands known to the human world. If you go to the source, you'll find these frogs really live in waterfalls.
Oh well. It was a nice thought.
I have about three hours to tell everyone in Atlanta that I might possibly be coming for a visit, before they hear it from someone else. Hear ye, hear ye! Here I come! I'm thinking the 6th - 13th. Maybe? Yes?
Then, of course, there are the few people who know that they have only to ask, and I will add on a few days for a South Carolina trip or even a Chattanooga trip. If you give a mouse a cookie...

Posted by: Sarah J at March 20, 2006 08:06 PMok, about the article...if the noise the frog makes exceeds "the recorder's maximum range of 128 kilohertz" (which is more than six times the limit of human hearing, according to the article), how did they know it is making a sound?
Posted by: john g at March 20, 2006 10:42 PMmaybe they could still measure the fact that the frog's noise-maker was still vibrating and producing a response from other frogs, even though they couldn't "hear" it?
or maybe it's a cruel hoax!
and sarah, it's gonna take a lot of cookies (unfortunately). if only Orlando were as close to Altanta as Chattanooga! darn!!!
Posted by: bob at March 21, 2006 10:35 AMwell, due to an influx of girl-scoutian floridians, we do have an awful lot of cookies. but the geography, well... SOMEBODY should have planned that whole layout a little differently. -your resident heretic
