[Shop-talk] bats

[PJ McGarvey]

Had a bat in the house last week, flew through the living room while watching
TV.  My guess is that I left the back screen door open long enough earlier in
the night for it to swoop into the kitchen and then hang out for awhile
unnoticed - they fly very quietly...

Used my daughters butterfly catching net to get him though it took a few
tries.  The attic is totally sealed off from the 2nd floor for energy saving
reasons.
