By the way, I was driving home tonight and a bug hit my windshield. Now, that might not seem odd to most of you but there are no bugs here that are attracted to light. You can leave a light burning outside and there will be no flock of moths flying around it. The reason I noticed the bug on my windshield was that it was the first one since I got here.

Seagulls. I live on an island. You would think I would see plenty of seabirds. There are none. I haven't seen a gull since I left the east coast.
