Nature is Annoying

One thing about staying out here in the boonies before heading off to Columbia. I remember how wild nature really is, and how much I like living in cities. Tonight, driving to the bar and back (and yes, I was the designated driver):

a) Two fauns almost ran out into the road in front of me
b) A cat decided that trying to cross in front of a Ford was a good insurance risk

and best of all

c) It's insect spawning season out here in the woods. For some reason, one side of the house (the one that has my bedroom window on it) is covered by several plagues of Egypt. The particular insects (I have no idea what they're called) are small enough they can slip through the screen, and they're smacking their tiny bodies up against the windows in sufficient numbers to make a perpetual low-grade hum.

New York City, here I come!

Was the bar in Narnia? I think you mean fawn. There are very few bugs in San Francisco. Ants and butterflies, pretty much. But all year 'round. ;) K

You're right. If I'd had enough to drink I was seeing fauns, I shouldn't have been driving. Please see previous entry on my need to proofread. :)
