Reading the Signs
Another gull story:
During my first year living in Seattle I was walking one day through the main quad of the University of Washington. A huge flock of gulls and pigeons were on the ground and circling in the air, squabbling, squawking, making a lot of racket. Believe it or not, I didn't see gulls that often, especially not that far inland. Seattle is on Puget Sound, which is salt water that flows directly into the Pacific, but people were very firm with me that didn't mean it was the same thing as the ocean, and consequently Seattle was not on the coast.
Don't ask me, I still don't get it.
