Oh, I forgot to mention that I was also carrying some work that needed to be done. So just before bed, and just before the koalas in the trees started making loud and disconcerting noises, I read a grant application that I have to review. Fortunately the koalas hushed again and remained quiet until 6:45 the next morning ... when they woke us up with bellowing growls, grunts, and roars. Lucky I knew enough to guess what was responsible, because the hullabaloo was aggressive enough to intimidate any timid soul ignorant of what on earth might be making such a scary racket.
