being bit by a bat in the night while he was sleeping and
then later finding out that he had rabies.
Now I cover my head at night with the blankets and then listen.....
......if you think you may have bats, always have a tennis raquet close
to your bed.....

we're not allowed to hurt bats here........families have even been made homeless because a family of bats moved into their home and they couldnt bear to share the house with the beasties........by law the bats have to stay......lol....

I wonder if people who knew him called him Roy or Bob or Rob???
I wonder????
[quote]always drawing it upside-down! He was a man who dressed in bright colors and patterns, wore bat-wing ties and two-toned spat shoes. He collected cars, but never learned to drive. Even though he often used complicated recording equipment for his broadcasts, associates remarked that he was afraid to use a telephone for fear he would be electrocuted! A non-swimmer, he owned an odd assortment of boats including dug-out canoes and even an authentic Chinese sailing junk moored at B.I.O.N. Island, his estate in Mamaroneck, New York.

I never knew that's what they were called.
My husband wore one on the day we were married last year. A red one. I always called those a Bow-tie.
I wonder how Jim will look in a bat-wing tie, I wonder if we have any
pics of him in one?
