oh no Monk, did you have to mention bats to the bat-trauma victim? Clarity you might have to do some bat immersion to get the "bats are bad" association removed from your psyche. Pumpkin soup is awesome at LTU--my favorite! I have also gone there just for a cocktail and shared french fries with a friend--kicking back and enjoying the view.
yikes I had no idea...seriously though they are harmless and fun to watch and devour mosquitoes by the gazillions...very helpful creatures.
clarity this reminds me of the start of Batman...
