My bat, Atticus...he'd like to say hello

...unfortunately, all he can muster is a bit of a high-pitched "eek-eek" that most folks can't understand...but I'll translate for you if you'd like to chat...

1. Hey, Atticus!

Lookin' good, my man.

Are you named Atticus after the protagonist in "To Kill a Mockingbird," or is your name a pun on "attic," where bats are known to hang out (sorry) on occasion?

Also, what does IAS have on your menu lately?

Hang in there (oops, sorry again) -- :toast:

4. I found Atticus, well...you know where...

End o' summer, moved into and renovated a 100 year-old farmhouse in the swamp. Atticus came with the place.

Menu mostly skeeters. Can't wait for spring & the June bugs, tho' he says he bulks a bit that time o' year.

Atticus says that you shouldn't sweat the "hang in there" cracks...he says bats expect it and it's not one of those "ya have't be a bat to say that" kinda things...

2. My cat, Sparkey, would like to keep Atticus close to his heart...

In fact, he'd like to keep Atticus in his stomach.
