Sometimes, I swear (not really)…all I can do is shake my head and clear the frog in my throat. From National Geographic Daily News comes this: Photos: Bubble-nest Frog, Other “Extinct” Species Found.

“They”…found…extinct…frogs? Alive? Then wouldn’t that make them un-extinct? Wait, were they not no nevermind ever extinct, right?

Now I’m considered a tree-hugging nature-lover by just about everyone that knows me well enough…or remembers my aptitude test results from junior high, boy scouting, bushwhack backpacking for days on end in various wildernesses, the particular college degree earned, my unending career-long pursuit of proper stewardship of natural resources (mineral, vegetable, visual, breathing, etc.)…or anyone that accepts me as a loon (or lemming) and they’re OK with that, but I’ve got to ask….

Had anyone bothered to look for them extinct frogs all this time? Did our frog pals not leave a forwarding address? Oh yeah they did…they’ve taken up residence in my back yard….
