No-one mentioned that Batman died last week, and it's sad, too. Adam 
West wasn't just Batman, he also did the voices of plenty of cartoon 
characters, and once he played a space explorer in an episode of the The 
Outer Limits (the real Outer Limits in the early 1960s, not the awful 
psychic-investigator series twenty years later). That episode was about 
creatures living in the sand on Mars, and to get back to the ship you 
had to jump from rock to rock and never touch the sand or the monsters 
would pull you down and crush your space helmet and kill you. It's a 
game all children invent over and over again. Probably it's instinct.

It interests me that there was no mention here about bats in February. 
Exactly on the 14th of February, it never fails, the Caspar blood bats 
return from wherever they go in the fall. But they're more heard than 
seen, and the goofy loose-lipped geeble-gobble sound they make overhead 
is not scary at all. They eat the bugs that bug us, and they eat holly 
and lichen, helping the trees. And they're clumsy. They can fly right 
into a porch post and knock themselves out.

In other news, tonight I'll be doing my show from Fort Bragg, not by 
live remote from away, so if you want to come in and play your musical 
instrument(s) or talk about your project, or whatever, and you're nearby 
325 N. Franklin (next to the Tip Top bar), just waltz in any time after 
9pm, head for the lighted room at the back and get my attention away 
from whatever I'm doing, and I'll turn on a microphone for you.

(I often forget to say: The main thing about the show is reading aloud. 
If you write something you want me to read on the air, email it to me 
and I'll do that. The deadline is always around 5:30 or 6pm the night of 
the show. Or bring it in after nine and read it yourself.)
