Sure, why not?

Jesus!

You can't be serious.

You must really be married to your school.

Actually, I could care less what anyone said about my school, so that
makes no sense to me.

Where did you go to college?

---
Canal Zone College at La Boca in the Panama Canal Zone.

My older daughter got a PhD from UT in
Austin, and really liked the place, both the school and the town.

Austin's a nice place and, arguably, more than a little like San
Francisco:

except that we have SPAMARAMA:

I liked the bats under the bridge.

Cool.

They're even more spectacular when they fly.

We went down there for Elderbrat's wedding and took a walk along the
river at sunset. About a million bats came out and blasted overhead,
over the river walk. They looked like they'd hit us, but of course
bats know what they are doing.

Seems like a nice town, but it gets hot there. I grew up in New
Orleans and never got used to the heat. SF is chilly most of the time,
which suits me. And there's snow skiing 3 hours drive away, one reason
I moved here.

There's a certain amount of rabies in bats, though, so you have to be
careful.
