The little buggers are cute, but they are endangered. A third-grade class initiated the call for official status, and maybe we can save 'em.

 I was a third-grade idealist, too, but I strayed.

Square-dancing and salamanders (but not square-dancing with salamanders). I'm going to be a salamander activist.

Roll Tide.
