OUT AND ABOUT

Intrepid adventurer Jim Schneiderman of Mutual 3 recently reported another sighting of a rare critter in Leisure World.

“I was out for a cool and blustery walk. . . . Some latehanging holiday lights drew me like magic to a patio in Mutual 10,” he recalls. “As I was glowing in the greens, reds and blues, I heard the unmistakable sound of an old-time coffee percolator. My mind raced back to my mother’s 1950s Midwest kitchen, but my eyes stayed focused on the flower bed. Then, I spied her—a gigantic teal toad. This unusual animal is usually only seen in the swamps around Washington, D.C. They exist mostly on a diet of rabbits, squirrels and ramen, which may be what attracted this one to Leisure World. Sadly, they were hunted nearly to extinction during World War II when, due to a minor error of diction, the U. S. Army ordered a million pairs of teal toad shoes.”
