big_pond,

While that is a crazy picture, I am waiting to hear that you've finally been back to your pond to see what's going on there!

I think you said you haven't been to your pond for six months. Aren't you curious as to what's happening there?

Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:"
"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."
