Kermit I open the grill today and there was a toad living under the cover. I captured it. Put it in a nice new plastic container with a smorgasbord of eats and holes in the lid.

Now that was a toad. Your suggestion in your case may be factual. The stars just might be holes in a lid. :biggrin:

And Daves answer

Wow……
Took me a minute…
One day an Official US Government Car parked in front of my office window.
Written clearly on the door in bold lettering was “Official Interagency Vehicle”

I hate to admit this, not one of my finer moments, and it was often brought to my attention constantly for years later.
I looked at that car door for a whole day. I asked everyone, all day long….What is an Intera Gency?
Finally someone broke it down for me and I could see it.
Took me a lot longer than a minute though.

We sell infused honey. We infuse cinnamon, lemon, lavender, chocolate, and hot chili into honey. We cannot leave the mixing pots or 5 gal buckets out to let our bees clean up the remainder of the infused honey for fear it will find its way into the plain honey we also sell.

Don't want to be charging regular honey prices and have the customers discover they have a jar full of the more expensive stuff.

Here's a tip. Don't buy honey made from Rhododendrons. It's called 'mad honey' for a reason.

I read up on mad honey. Dang, Will. Leave it to you to screw up one of nature’s most perfect foods!

Some might say that only enriches the depth of nature's perfect food.

It's sold in some places. We bought a little while in Turkey. Haven't had more than the sample spoon at the market where we bought it. Don't actually plan to do anything with it. Just a novelty and a souvenir.

My wife was considering planting a few Rhododendrons around the house, until my daughter said, "let me just look that up and see if it makes good honey." No rhododendrons at our house.

I bought some fireweed honey in Alaska last year, thinking it was made by bees while pollinating fireweed. As it turns out, it was “honey infused with fireweed essence.” Whatever that means.

We make fireweed jelly. The only people that know what fireweed is are from Alaska, but it grows here too.

Known as the first flower to grow after a forest fire. The jelly has a light white grape flavor.

Apparently it makes good bedding too.

Ha ha ha, imagine describing a creature that weighs about 700 lbs and pursues people relentlessly across the Arctic ice in order to eat them as 'adorable.'

Inside that skin of soft white fur is a chewed-up kayaker being digested.

Fireweed is one of my favorite flowers in the whole wide world. I even had some fireweed ice cream in Denali.

Just past this sign. Does anyone have any idea what this mean?
