I saw them after I quoted!! :weee


How are the safari critters in all this rain?

The male giraffe was out on my way home! I need to visit the bat cave, it's about 20 minutes from my house. 



I've seen that cave on tv.  So cool.  I didn't realize so many people like bats.  I love them too.  So cute.  We had one in a cage for awhile when I was a kid.  Found it on the floor of the barn.  My mom had an amazing way with critters.  She nursed that bat and let it go a few days later when it got it's strength back.  The way they use that little hook on what look like an elbow is amazing.  There was bat lady I knew who kept some as pets. She'd walk around with them hanging inside her shirt.  She also smelled like bat pee.  :sick    Guess I don't love them that much! 


In high school the closed down elementary school was being converted to a community center. LOTS of bats in there. It was a hot, dry summer. I found one outside by the chimney; put on gloves, put it on the chimney, and held a Gatorade cap full of water while it drank. :love

Later that week at the old school I saw a kid beat one to death with a broom. I ran home crying and passive aggressively hated that kid forever.

I'm almost ready to try San Antonio again. The drive out is JUST. SO. MISERABLE. It's been 12 years. I'll put bats on the list!
If you could bypass Houston, it would't be so bad. How long does it take to get here?
A hundred thousand years.

I was in the FAR. BACK. of this ratty old suburban with NO. AC. and it was the 4th of July. Oh, also the bossman was driving and had all his kids under the working vents. And also if you slept you got yelled at. I thought for sure I'd be buried in that stupid burban.

I'm 3 hours from Houston I think. I always get stuck in traffic, or in a flea market.
I'd skeered to make the trip again after that experience too!

The nightly ritual of the bats emerging from under the Congress Avenue bridge. This is the largest urban bat colony in North America. These bats consume over 30,000 pounds of insects per night.
