Colorado is weird. Sun comes out. For a few minutes there's warmth. Wind starts blowing and make things unbearably cold. Must remember to be prepared and carry gloves with me.

In Yer Dreams
Various strange creatures populated my dream. First and foremost one of those plastic carriers used for small critters was sitting near me. Tiny African clawed frogs were hopping through the breathing grates much to my consternation. Their presence only served to keep me still so I wouldn't step on them. When I opened up the container which appeared to be empty, I found a creature. It appeared to be two, flat mossy rocks resting against each other like pancakes but the rocks separated revealing a strange mouth. I dropped an unusually large and pink prawn into its mouth and watched it start to grind the poor creature up. Frantically I tried to extricate the arthropod but to no avail. Guilt consumed me.
Later on, I discovered an amphibious mammal. The creature's body was very round, as if each limb was a single sphere of spiky fur. A cross between a woodchuck, a porcupine and a platypus. Its face was far from being mammalian, the fur was spiky (I already mentioned that) and the butteriness of its body reminded me of woodchucks. Each fur spike started out charcoal and would lighten to a wintery sky gray near the tips. Fortunately the points weren't pointy, just looked that way. The rest of the dream had me dropping the strange beast into various aquariums so it could eat and entertain me with its shenanigans.
All around me, there were those teeny tiny frogs.
