Quasi-Famoso

A group of about 30 people were gathered near the structure, located across from Lake Alice, when it happened, said Joe Murphy, a UF employee who was part of the group. They were waiting to watch bats leave for the night when the interior of the bat house collapsed without warning shortly after 8 p.m., he said, sending bats flying away.

"It was like a wave of bats. ... A lot of people were wondering if they should run or not," he said.

Departure

I'm leaving Gainesville on September 10 for Los Angeles. After that we're flying out of LA on the evening of September 11 to Auckland, and then quickly changing planes to fly to Vanuatu.

Luckily, my friend in LA is probably going to come meet up with me and take me out to dinner, so I don't have to spend the evening alone in a hotel room brooding about my impending departure. That's all for now.
