We went to the beach and stayed with some friends in their house, right on the beach.
Fantastic!
They mentioned that we may see a moving turd in either of the toilets.
A frog was living in their sewer system and, from time to time, he pops up in the toilet. They have been trying to catch him but he is too fast.
When you see the frog, it looks like a squirming turd.
This is disconcerting for sure.
But then you realize something is living in the toilet.
Even more disconcerting.
Living on the beach is not for the faint of heart.
Every night, bats fly around the covered porch. They keep a screen door closed to keep the bats out.
Plus, mating cockroaches fall on you from the ceiling while you sleep. Not pleasant even if they are harmless.
Little tiny ants are everywhere! All food is kept in the refrigerator which is ant-less.
And the maintenance on the house and appliances is vicious. Paint peels, metal corrodes, computers crap out in a few months and on and on...
Many years ago, I had a dream of living on the beach. I suppose many people have that dream.
It is not all it is cracked up to be...too much work, money and inconvenience.
But I do like to visit!
My oh my, we had a wonderful time!

Wow, last summer, during a drought season, I had this beautiful frog living in my toilet in the barn. He lived there comfortably until the rains started again. he would let me catch him on occasion, and I would always put him back AFTER I had done my business. and I too used to have the beach dream. a friend told me of all the car and appliance rot, and sand in everything when the wind would pick up... but, I am still VERY JEALOUS or You and Yella being there. Love You Guys Immensely. Darshan
A second frog in the toilet! Who would have thought!
We would love to see you. Any chance you can swing by on your way home?
Ha, I would LOVE to see You and Yella, too, in Panama! broke as I am, I am seriously plotting a possible spring visit... late March or so, if I have air-miles enought to get a ticket. Have to tread softly, though, with Laura, as I have been gone a lot, and she has no vacation time left to come along! I will let You know after I get home and speak with her. Love You, Darshan
All right! If you can work, let the party roll. Once you get here, you will not need to spend much money. That may help.
