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.

When we had a bat, one of my helpful friendlist people told us to get a bat house for the backyard, so the bats would go into it and not into our house. We didn't, so I don't know how it would work, but I thought it was worth a mention.

Actually that's a good idea, they're happy in bat houses. And then you can observe them from a distance without worrying. They're really quite nifty little creatures, when they're not flying around in a dark bedroom scaring the bejeesus out of you.
