GC has some new caveat when shipping used instruments now, which prevents the recipient from setting the delivery to will call pickup.
Maybe not a big deal to most, but it's a great big pain in the butt for me, because my UPS guy likes to transpose my address & deliver to the wrong building & then leave the package outside unsigned for.

Today I learned a mud puddle formed from seven straight days of rain contained juvenile bullfrogs even though it's a good ten miles from the nearest place where you might find a bullfrog.

Isn't a juvenile bullfrog a tadpole? Or are you saying that in seven days a bullfrog can metamorphose from egg to fully formed frog?

Sorry, juvenile was the wrong word. They are fully formed frogs, but they are your standard issue southern wet spot bullfrogs that are not much larger than my thumb. If i had to guess, they look to be about a week or so past having dropped their tails, which only deepens the mystery for me.

I could see (and have seen) strings of eggs and adult frogs in rain fed mud puddles but never freshly minted frogs and never here; and never this far away from their natural habitat.

I learned that once you invoke your right to an attorney under the 5th amendment, the police can't ask you about the same crime again until 14 days after you have been released from custody after Robeson v AZ (not sure about that case name). I'm in law school. I learn too much most days...

Do lawyers and Bassplayers go together?
