37 Hospital Bats

Just a close up of what is "hanging" around.
There is a large intersection near 37 Military Hospital and legend has it when a Chief came to the hospital for treatment he brought the bats with him. The Chief died at the hospital and the bats never left. During the day you can see them hanging from every branch of every Mango tree surrounding the Hospital. I'm not sure why they were so active today but we took the opportunity to snap a picture. These pictures were taken at 5:00 p.m.. The white and green bus on the left is one of the kids' school buses. Meg and I took the pictures from the front seat of the Subaru.

Very sanitary considering it is next to a hospital, isn't it? (Meg)

Cruising through the  Twitter  this winter , I note that  Aradia  -- a semi-local brewpub, and of which mom and dad are founding members -- is having what they term a 'beer dinner' on April 28, which also happens to be dad's 70th birthday. Thinking that it's a natural occasion and destination to celebrate dad, the Turner boys scheme to get him there. When we arrived (albeit, a little late, due to unforeseen Michigan Avenue construction in Battle Creek), we were provided with a brief tour of Arcadia's production facility, and given a menu agenda for the evening. Chef Sean described the evening's meal as turning food inside out, changing our perception of what we typically perceive, encounter, and eat. Tables were set up separate from the restaurant, again on the production side, where they were white-linen clad, and supplied with plates of Swiss and cheddar ch
