"On The Road to Find Out"

Creature comforts...great and small

I was talking with my sister Erin tonight. In Ireland, alcohol is called "The Creature." When a person has had to much to drink they say, "Aye, too much Creature taken."

Ante Lucem

Week 32
Bats: 0 Outpost: 2
Before daybreak, the bat population suffered another expulsion from the Outpost which makes them 0-2 this week. I have accidently stumbled on a better end game. Old technique - upon hearing one flying in the living room, I would wake up, open the door to the outside, close doors to other rooms, get my broom, stand on the balcony and attempt to shepard them to the open door, and escape. They love to fly in circles which works in their favor. The contest is getting them outside before they disappear. New technique varies in the last phase of the contest. Now I don't stand on the balcony, but rather on the living room floor, work on bringing the bat to the floor, and then sweeping it outside. If the homeowner wins, it is called a clean sweep, and the series is over. After daybreak, I again look for their entry points, but only in the daylight, and without much success.

Riots and Curfews

This day, in 1967 Colleen was born. Time of riots and burning, both in Pontiac and Detroit. A curfew was in effect over the whole area. We had to break the curfew even to get to St. Joseph Hospital. After Carol came out of the delivery room, it appeared that she had been in drug rehab for an extended stay. I have never seen a happier person in my entire life. What a glorious day!

"Do all your soldiers speak Latin, Cole?"

"Only this one."

And when the cobbler awoke...
