Quick, Robin! To the Bat-Box!!

So I can return these Bat-Books to the Bat-Library!

I’m not real clear on why the drop box in front of the Roanoke Public Library has a bat symbol on it.  If I had to guess … it’s warning people about bats who might roost under its protruding slot at night?  That kinda makes sense.

Downtown Roanoke is no stranger to wildlife.  Just last night I saw a mid-sized raccoon scuttle up a tree right off Campbell Avenue — to the delight of a bunch of Labor Day weekend revelers returning from a bar.  They were filming its hasty ascent with their cellphones.  That raccoon got a lot of laughs.

Throwback Thursday: the trailer for “The Lost Boys” (1987)!

Leave a comment

A good friend of mine disclosed publicly yesterday that he had never seen “The Lost Boys” (1987).  The poor, benighted soul.  And this is one of my Mary Washington College alums too!!  (Even his wife was taken aback at the glaring omission in his 80’s pop culture experience.)

Someone I know took Ivermectin to protect himself from coronavirus, and he immediately got a horrible sore throat.

Man, does he sound horse.

Update: a pal of mine on Facebook just asked if he was stable.  I told him we’d hear yea or neigh from the doctors about that pretty soon.

But maybe we shouldn’t fault people who choose to take Ivermectin. It’s their decision.  And they all deserve equine rights.

(And it isn’t as though they’re making a lot of mane comments about us.)
