Maybe you should have kept it in a terrarium or something so you could see what it turned into. You'd have plenty of photographic opportunities along the way!Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00794079257866559509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018576996941070707.post-11875489329657592982011-08-04T16:42:50.096-07:002011-08-04T16:42:50.096-07:00Ken - I knew I could count on you for a scientific...Ken - I knew I could count on you for a scientific analysis of the situation. We aren't that far from the desert, so I think you have hit on the answer. I will let my husband know.

I've seen it in the movies. If I were you, I would arm myself heavily because after they finish off the tomatoes, who knows what they will be hungry for!!!<br />I would say "nice capture", but I don't think I need to.ken bellohttp://oneowner.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018576996941070707.post-53994722166948518082011-08-04T08:00:26.975-07:002011-08-04T08:00:26.975-07:00Earl - Your thoughts are pretty close to mine.
