airline tickets go american airlines miraflores
I was having some trouble getting to sleep last night.� it had something to do with nootka pacing around the living room, like she was following something that bothered her.� or she had to go to the bathroom and wasnapos;t sure how to wake us up for it.� so this is around 11:30, and finally i rolled over, opened my eyes, and saw what appeared to be a shadow flicking back and forth between the living room and dining room, with nootkaapos;s head moving up and down with it.� naturally, i thought nootkaapos;s head moving was creating the shadow, cast off the light of our air cleaner that we use for white noise at night.� but as my eyes adjusted, it took on the familiar shape of a creature that iapos;ve battled with already this fall: another bat.
we had the door from the backyard into the house open all day, so it must have snuck in at some point as evening fell, probably drawn to it by the bugs flying around the back light.� well, since iapos;d already had a run in, and i was tired and wanted to get some sleep, i got up my courage and hopped out of bed.� i warned katie, who grabbed nootka and buried her head under the covers, refusing to look.
honestly, i must admit that it took me a while to formulate a plan.� the bat was doing figure-8apos;s, around the living room in a circle, through the doorway into the dining room in a circle, and back again- each time flying past the front door as it rounded the bend.� i forgot that bats donapos;t really see escape openings, as demonstrated in my last encounter, and i moved over to the door and opened it up.
naturally, nothing changed.� the bat kept on flying in itapos;s figure-8 pattern like one of those toy racecar tracks from days of yore when you would just hold down a trigger and watch the car on itapos;s constant pattern (the only amusement out of that toy was building elaborate crashes).� i moved into the doorway between the two rooms, directly in front of the front door, and tried to direct the batapos;s flight by waving my arms at it as it began itapos;s transition out of the dining room- hoping to keep it out of the living room (where nootka, despite being held by katie, still tried to jump up and snatch the bat with her jaws whenever it flew past) and eventually out the door.�
it was totally useless- the only worthwhile outcome was for anyone who happened to be walking down the street, who would have seen a mid-20apos;s guy in his pajamas, standing in front of an open front door with the lights on, bicycle-pedalling his hands in the air and randomly ducking down to aparantly nothing.�
i got hit a few times- this bat was very discombobulated, bouncing against walls and such- and occasionally ran into me on itapos;s way past.� frustrated, i grabbed my pillow.� i thought about trying to trap it in my pillowcase and taking it outside, but instead (it could have been because of how late it was) i just swatted it out of the air.� the poor thing skidded across the ground, sliding on the hardwood floors towards nootka, but i hit it again like a hockey puck towards the door.� it regained composure just at the right moment, taking flight only to find itself within the front doorway- luckily deciding to head out onto the porch and into the night.�
iapos;m still trying to figure out the best air-traffic-control equipent for bats.� the broom wasnapos;t really ideal, as it didnapos;t have a very large surface area to steer with; and the pillow really is only good for smacking the little buggers out of the air- not really a suitable tool for directing.� and i certainly donapos;t want anything that the bat will get tangled up in... Any suggestions would be appreciated.
in other news, katie and i headed out to pawtuckaway state park today with a couple of friends to do some rock climbing- it was pretty cold (itapos;s finally starting to frost at night here, and reaching the mid-50apos;s during the day), and the routes ended up being a bit harder than they were rated to be, but it was an adventure nonetheless.� itapos;s wonderful to have a top-notch climbing area only 25 minutes from our house- we love living somewhere where we can legitimately go climbing just for a morning or afternoon and still have time for other things during a day.� that definitely was not possible in bloomington.� katieapos;s website is up and running (katievernon.com), and her work looks great� as for school, iapos;m doing what i can to get into trouble.� iapos;ve got a project iapos;m working on that should change the face of outdoor leadership training forever, so thatapos;s nice- itapos;s always good to have an idea that would really make a difference and realize that not really anyone else had done it before... As for what that "thing" is, itapos;ll be a secret for now.� canapos;t let anyone steal it.� that means you.
