This post will not add much to the discourse about bats nor provide much information other than this: I thought we all knew that Vampire Bats live some where in a large, dark, stone castle .....surrounded by a deep, vast, gloomy forest in Transylvania......... ........and turn into people with fangs at night. Which is why I have garlic hanging in my window, and also put garlic in my dog's food every morning........ Also because the farmers in Wisconsin sometimes say that garlic keeps away vampires and fleas. I don't ever see any vampires............ so it must be working. =;-) I also know that some bats live in some belfries. I hear people say that all the time when they are talking with me. Some times I hear words like "the old bat" also. Well, maybe not............but you may all believe Doris about bats. (She knows lots of good and helpful stuff.) I am with Barbara..........Brrrrrrr !! Jane Kerner ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
