News Flash from the Bat Cave
It is the middle of winter.
It is freezing cold.
There is ice and snow on the ground.
It is the time of year for all critters in their right minds to curl up somewhere and hibernate.
Especially bats.
Instead, in response to a mysterious malady called White Nose Syndrome, bats are coming out of hibernation too early, are sick and emaciated, and eventually die. The phenomenon is being reported in caves and mines all over the Northeast.
And yes folks, in my house.
I had another winged midnight visitor last week that I chased out of the house and into the freezing wind with my trusty broom, all the while yelling "why aren't you hibernating!"
Now I know why.
I'm sleeping with the lights on again.

Poverty is Bad for Your Blog
I meant to blog about Poverty on October 14- I really did. I wanted to make a point about this global issue and raise awareness. Unfortunately, because I am now working three jobs to try and keep myself out of foreclosure and bankruptcy, I just didn't have time. But despite this, I still consider myself fortunate to struggle where I struggle. Millions live in conditions unimaginable to me. So, I'm a bit behind the curve here, but I'm adding my small voice to the others - do what you can to help global poverty - it's a bailout for everyone.
