One fancy petting zoo

A question for Mr. Miller, regarding his last column ("Welcome to the Durham Petting Zoo," April 5):

Since you seem to be about to finish your junior year, I'm curious as to what has thus far stopped you from transferring? After all, since a "petting zoo" that contains the pre-eminent documentary film festival in the country, a nationally celebrated minor league baseball team, and a rich and often overlooked African American historical tradition are not enough to keep you entertained, I'm surprised you have chosen to remain in Durham.

Of course, we poor downtrodden local residents, who have so richly benefited from your all-too-brief presence in Durham, would miss your personal direct contributions to our local culture horribly, but I'm sure you'd find no shortages of rides to the airport. Heck, you might even find us so accommodating as to make sure you don't let the door hit you on your way out of town.
