I know I owe you a story about the bats but it's Sunday and the newspaper awaits (have I mentioned that at least half of my neighbors here get a paper delivered? For a journalist, a welcome sight) which means there's the Sunday crossword to slog through (yesterday's puzzle kicked my ass, btw) so here's a shot of the driveway that leads to the house, an oak-lined preview of the wild kingdom (bats! coyotes! racoons!) and stories to come.
