Three hundred trout are required to support one man for a year. The trout, in turn, must consume 90,000 frogs, which must consume 27 million grasshoppers, which live off of 1,000 tons of grass.

Just now we have bullfrogs eating the small trout, so they are trying to get revenge, I guess.

Found this on bcinvasives.ca. The American bullfrog is the largest frog in BC. Adults can grow to 18-20 cm long, not including the legs. Bullfrogs were imported to BC for frog leg farming. They will eat almost anything they can fit into their mouths, including other frogs, salamanders, young turtles, small rodents, many insects, and garter snakes.

Down here in Texas, everybody knows Christopher Cross.
“Ride Like the Wind” and ‘Sailing” were huge hits from his 1979 eponymous debut album, and together they brought Mr. Cross fame and fortune, earning him all of the “Big Four” Grammy Awards in one year.
There were two #1’s and three other songs that made the top 20 in 1980 from that album.
He seemed to be everywhere all at once in the 80’s.
After that it was hard to find anyone ’round these parts that didn’t have some connection to the ubiquitous Mr. Cross.
I know at least 10 people that have lived next door to him.
I know 20 people that lived in the same apartment complex.
I know at least 100 people that saw him regularly at the Piggly-Wiggly check out line.
Apparently, he attended 3 Major University’s here in Texas, on no less than 11 campuses in the space of eight years.
I know a guy that studied with him Pre-Med and another guy who took his Bar Exam with Mr. Cross.
I knew a man whose father said he knew a man who was there the day Christopher Cross was born.
Me?
Hell, I played Badminton and drank lemonade with he and Lowell George at the Governors Mansion.
