Flying Things

The Noddy Tern: Friend of the Fisherman.

The Giant Grasshopper: Friend to No One.

This monster insect dive bombed me while I was sitting on the front porch. I've seen BIRDS smaller than he is!

Speaking of flying things, apparently the H1N1 Flu germs are flying around Yap. There are a handful of suspected cases and (I think) one confirmed case. So everyone is taking precautions: all the classrooms have hand sanitizer and all the students were given a brocure and a lecture on how to stay healthy. My favorite H1N1 moment was when I arrived at the airport back in June and was given a flowered mwar mwar by a topless girl who was wearing a face mask!
