This will be a short note as I have been up all night dealing with yet another round of bat problems. I have reached the end of my tether. Clearly something must be done.

However, there is some comic relief: I have been receiving spam comments on this blog suggesting I click on a link to rent an industrial dock crane. Perhaps many poets long for good deals on dock cranes.

I've been reading a book of essays by Rachel Kushner and had plans to quote from one of them today. But I am too tired to copy out anything accurately, so that will have to wait.

Chuck thinks bats are cool.
