This is Africa

So I'm sitting outside yesterday enjoying a post-term beer and watching the
sunset when all of a sudden a bunch of dust and what seem like pebbles fall
on my head. I'm stunned for a second, wondering what the heck just
happened. Then there's a loud and something much bigger falls on me.
I look down and there is a small bat holding onto my pants at my thigh. I
of course jump up and wiggle around and act like a TOTAL girl trying to get
it off, but the little guy is holding on. I finally brush it off with my
wrist...and then proceed to wiggle around and "EEEEEK" some more (like a
girl).

This at least solves the mystery of the sounds I hear overhead at night in
my bedroom. Bats, check. (Least it's not rats...which is what they sound
like.)

That is all.
