Hopefully this will provide some comic relief to your Holiday.
The wife went to the attic to find the stockings. You know, the ones that need to be hung by the chimney with care this evening. She found the stockings, but we also found a little brown bat asleep on the stairs. We get them in the attic from time to time. I usually catch them in a box, drive out to the lake, and let them go.
Well, its cold outside with at least 9 inches of snow on the ground. I put the little thing out on the back porch railing expecting it to fly away, but it just sat there shivering. I'm not so sure it isn't hibernating or something.
So, I put him in a cardboard box, sealed it shut, and poked a couple small air holes in it and brought it back in the house. I don't like to kill things that I'm not going to eat. I can live and let live in that respect, but I don't want the critter to suffer, so I would kill it before I let it freeze to death (but I really don't want to). Now I have a "pet" bat in a box in the dining room.
What would you do? Knock it in the head and be done with it, or wait until it seems a little more lively and put it outside?

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
