I was riding my bike yesterday on the crowded streets of my neighborhood, when a bug happened to fly directly into my eyeball.  I would've been happier if it went in my mouth.  So here I was, attempting to maintain control of my bike, avoiding children and animals in the road, and trying not to get hit by a car.  I couldn't help but think, "Why the heck do bugs go in my eye?"  If you think about how tiny bugs are and how huge the earth is, the odds are really incredible.  After spending some time in the barren and open southwestern US, I can say one thing for certain:  There's enough room for people and bugs to coexist without conflict.  Heck, even in New Jersey there's enough room.  Sure, NJ is crowded and built-up, but I've been to parts of the state where I've walked for two days without seeing more than a few other humans.  There isn't quite as much open space as in the southwest, but there's plenty of room for bugs to do their thing, while letting us humans do our thing somewhere else.  So please, bugs, stay out of our eyes. #nature
