[AT] The last question I had on my list for December.

Don, I never could figure out how the sea gulls knew.
We were at least 10 miles inland from any body of water where the sea gulls 
would normally hang out and 30 miles from where you are sure to find them. 
When the first farmer stuck the first mold board plow in the ground in the 
spring (actually winter here) the sea gulls would show up in a matter of 
minutes.
