Bat in my Van!
Friday, September 12th, 2008
I had a very amusing incident take place this morning. I was inspecting a house for a family that had a bat flying around their living room last night. I found the bat and brought it out to my van in the driveway. I couldn’t find the container that I usually put bats in so I temporarily put him inside a Dunkin Donuts bag, put the bag inside my van and then went back inside to finish inspecting the house. 30 minutes later I finished the inspection, got in my van and started to drive to my next appointment. I was driving down the road when all of a sudden the bat swoops within an inch of my face. It somehow made it’s way out of the bag and was flying around inside my van while I was driving! I pulled over, grabbed my camera and took a couple pictures of it flying around before I caught the little guy and put him in an appropriate container. Definitely caught me by surprise. I guess I understand how my customers feel when they wake up to them flying around their bedrooms.
I guess there’s a first time for everything.
