8. Week before winter break there was a bat cloud flying around the freeway I take.

Clearly not birds. I usually forget they're around, unless they do something like get into my high school. (Then it's a disaster, because as a rabies vector the entire wing where the bat is gets evacuated, specialists and health authorities are called out, and they disinfect stuff. A bee hive gets set up in the eaves outside, hundreds of bees find they way in? Not a big deal. Yeah, a beekeeper is called in to remove the hive, but otherwise it's just "Tell the students not to bother the bees and the bees won't bother them.&quot
