I probably shouldn't admit this but... I was very young - 12 - when I started high school. Being painfully bright and at least a year younger than my peers I was lonely. Every morning I got to the train station early - around 6AM. It was always deserted except for a one legged sea gull. That bird and I chatted every morning. One of the more intelligent beings I have known. At least he and I understood each other.

As for the bulls, I wonder - what if they gave a bull run and no one came?
