ARRGH!

The bat that got into our house night before last is not going to be a repeat offender because despite Rob's care, it seemed to have died of shock; it was still sitting in the juice container on top of the garbage can yesterday.

However . . .

I went to bed last night at 10:15--and woke up at 10:37 because a bat was flying over my head.

THESE BATS ARE TOTALLY UNAUTHORIZED!!!

Rob heard the screams more quickly this time and got rid of this one, too (fortunately, Delia did not wake for all the excitement). He walked it about a block and a half away as it swore at him, and he told it to live long and catch lots of mosquitoes but to NOT COME BACK.

oh my gosh, another bat? You may want to call your exterminator!

We've done that in the past, and it is such a racket. "That'll be ____ hundred dollars for us to put down the chemicals. And we don't get up on a ladder and stuff steel wool into every single crack bigger than a 1/4" wide--you do."

We had bat-proofed the house years ago, and got rid of them after an epic struggle.

And then we had the house re-roofed. Which, of course, opened up all sorts of cracks again. Yeesh.
