There she is! Perfect for the drive-in or enough room for 4 hockey players and their bags. Before I got my license, my friend Dave drove some old giant station wagon that belonged to his dad. It was like the Vista Cruiser on 'That '70s Show.' Not sure what it was, but it had 2 bench seats in back + front seats (I think bench too) and storage...the thing was enormous and got like 5 miles per gallon and burned oil like crazy. We'd fill that with kids and go to the drive-in all the time. We took it to Tahoe once too. Fit like 10 people pretty comfortably. You just described the car I remember growing up in It was a huge late 60s/early 70s station wagon that was all black. We called it The Hearse. And this was my mom's car since my dad got a free car for being a cop. My mom is 4' 11" and weighed about 120 pounds driving that beast! It must've had power steering or I don't think she'd have been able to drive it

There would be like four different conversations going on at all times because it held so many people. It was like a portable living room.

This is super bizarre stuff. The first segment of the YouTube video relates to the article on rabbits and submarines. The Bunny, the Witch, and the War RoomThe Bunny, the Witch, and the War RoomSharon Weinberger’s new book, The Imagineers of War, reveals some real-life X-Files By Sharon Weinberger

Watching the promo video for this has totally put me off! Could be fun, otherwise.

I wasn’t sure what a tree frog was, so I went to wiki. Only 1/2” long? How do they not get eaten by birds and squirrels or cats? Some looked pretty colorful though I’d probably faint if I saw frogs leaping about in a tree. I’m likely better off being unaware of things in nature.

No worries, these frogs are great, the kids love trying to hold them. Well as you can see these aren't the bright red and green poisonous Mexican staring frogs of Southern Sri Lanka. That frog is about 2 1/2 - 3 inches long, he is rough and bumpy and looks like moss/bark, no poison. They only come out at night so no bird worries (maybe an owl). We've watched them jump from tree to tree, they can really fly. We have two large umbrellas next to the pool and they love to sleep in the folds, we see them all the time. They are like crickets, a field full of them is nice, but just one right outside your window would drive you crazy.

They do look pretty neat. Surprised I never came across these as a kid. I can imagine their “singing” could get annoying. I do enjoy songbirds, though they don’t seem to perform at the wee hours. Morning Doves are cool with me. Have you or your kids tried raising them in an aquarium? Wasn’t sure how they’d fare in an artificial environment.

No, we leave the frogs alone, neither I nor my kids have kept one. The only animal we had when I was a kid that we didn't buy was some small turtles.
