Mexican Free-Tail Bats

We took the Brits to see the Congress bats.  The largest bat colony in the lower 48.  Last week the weather was reasonable and we stood there for an hour for a pathetic display of bat spirit.  There I was bragging about how cool Austin was because of the bats and they let me down.  The guys were cool about it but it was suggested we might try again later from a different vantage point.  Today we stood on the bridge and looked over the mass exodus.  It was certainly more impressive than it was beside the bridge.  BUT it was also 105 degrees today.  I sweat buckets.  BUCKETS!  It is Sept 26th and it's 105 degrees!  What happened to fall?!  On a funny side note sweet little Jordan got out of my car and said, "Aww, bloody hell! How do you live here?"  You were warned.  Living in Texas between March and November certainly ain't for sissies.
