Kentucky Bats

 

1. Sounds like a hippie commune to me.  Free love and sharing and all.

2. dick, are you referring to “line marriage”?  cf. “Menage a Trois”

   Bats are wonderful furry little critters.  When I was spelunking they’d be whizzing past my head like bullets in narrow dark passageways. Just ignore them—they never screw up and collide with you.

3. Yeah Oink - I knew a guy who espoused hippie life and his circle of friends changed partners on a seemingly random basis, always within the circle of their “family”.  Seems it was all about sharing. 

   I often see bats fluttering around at twilight and cheer them on - go bat git them mosquitos.  Don’t you worry about diseases from bat droppings in a bat cave?  Or is that the least of your worries in that claustrophobic environment?

4. dick, I’ve been thru cave passages tighter’n a frogs ass (watertight).  No, not much concern about disease. Getting lost or trapped by water or injured is the bigee.  Why I don’t do that stuff no more.

5. Hmm, reminds me of a woman I knew in Galveston. Had a lovely daughter. If you wanted to get with the daughter you had to ... er ... go through the mother. It certainly looked worthwhile but as I had an other interest at the time I never found out.

8. Nope, wasn’t Ann Richards. I don’t think she’s allowed on the island any more. I dunno too many places in Texas that she’s welcome any more, either. Even my most ardent Dem friends hate her. Of course, in one case it’s because Ann had the floodgates opened on a dam and drowned the friend’s house. She did it to save some high value houses built around the reservoir.
