Hey, What's in Your Cooler Dude?
Tue Oct 14 2003

Boy, it's chilly up here in the mountains! Had to wear my sweater most of the day. But the sky was a lovely blue and the high clouds white, the air is clear and smells of pine.

At the town where I get off the freeway and have to drive another 30 miles to get here, I saw an unusual sight. As I came down the off ramp, I noticed a man sitting across the way at the on ramp. He was quite near the edge of the road. I noticed he had a small igloo cooler in front of him and he was putting something kind of large up close to his face, and I thought... oh he's eating subway sandwich out of his lunch box there. I had to wait for a car that was coming to pass by and I looked again.

Now, I don't think I could swear in a court of law to the following, but I am 99% sure that he had a bull frog in his hands. And as I made my left turn, he put him up close to his face and was talking to him. Thus giving new meaning to the purpose of the cooler. I figure the thing was the bullfrog's home. I have no idea how the bullfrog FEELS about this situation, but if I was him, at the FIRST opportunity, I would make my escape.

I left them close in conversation with the bullfrog's legs hanging down, in what I could only think was terror or resignation. (Not being very familiar with bullfrog body language and all)

Anyway, needless to say, I am happy in the knowledge that 30 miles separates me from said man and his frog. AND it's good to know they were headed north, while I went south. Although I doubt that guy is going to get a ride unless he puts his frog in his cooler, if you know what I mean. . .

The world is a strange and wonderous place don't you think?

    It is, indeed, a wondrous world. And Yetzirah manages, somehow, to come upon those wonders. Yetzirah also sees wonders where some of us are blind.

    Shalom

    Yetz, weirdly enough, I dreamed about frogs last night! I saw two green treefrogs climbing high on my windows, which I wondered at, and went to climb up to open the window to let them out, but I couldn't reach. Looking for a stool, I came back to find R had captured them both, each in a small transparent plastic container which fit their little bodies perfectly. They seemed to be bullfrogs now. We spoke to them quietly and transported them outside. Later, they both appeared on our doorstep *in human form*, a man and a woman, and spoke to us, but I can't rmember what they said. Bizarre, isn't it?
