Things I learned in Bermuda

* Cold is relative. "Tropical" sometimes is not.
* Never take for granted the importance of a permanent mailing address
* Smart, insipid people are everywhere. There are perhaps as many of them as dumb, insipid people, and the smart ones are worse because they talk more. Run for the hills.
* The Duke webserver is a pain in the a**.
* Stanford basketball needs to go to hell.
* Almost all of the world's coral reefs will be dead within the next 50 years.
* Or sooner, if the American public re-elects Dubya.
* The importance of pavements
* There is such a thing as "too much fried food".
* Cats bite. Hard.
