Nesting...

Like many of it's relatives, the North American Fledermaus has nesting instincts that kick in when the weather starts to change.

The leaves fall and the winds start to bring cooler air, and the Fledermaus, much like the nesting squirrels, prepares it's home for the rougher weather.

As the geese begin to think of migrating, the first instinct of the fledermaus is for hibernation....but occasionally they've been known to migrate as well.

This doesn't mean that they don't seem to enjoy the cooler weather..

I found in the laundry room yesterday...

...We have this big library of leftover books in our laundry room--the deal is you bring anything you feel like donating down, and borrow whatever appeals as long as it goes back someday. Every once in a while I find a gem, like Richard Matheson's "I am legend' in the stacks, or a book on Dian fossey, or a Schlocky Murder mustery or something....yesterday while I was hanging out in the laundry room with Ben and his guy Fred, I stumbled onto "Tron" complete with photos...sweeeeeet!!!

Now I have to go rent that movie too...maybe tonight, just for nostalgia's sake...

*BOOM*

It's like Godzilla's walking around outside...
*booom*

Damn construction...
*BOOM!*

Ack! I'm outta here, maaan!
