You're not weird.

When I was a kid, we had buckets of those lil green frogs. They were everywhere. We used to have frog races. And in the winter, when the driveway would frost over, see how fast the frogs would slide down the driveway..
Loved salamanders, too. Used to pack em into my pockets...my special lil friends...lol.

Great memories. Thanks for bringing it up to remind me.....
