Summer Sounds

Summer sounds at night, hence no picture. I was trying to record the owl but I think I spooked him when I opened my window. You can hear one very faintly in the background.

A Batmobile

Yesterday I saw a batmobile. It was on the drive home at twilight. It was parked next to someone's house in a driveway between two regular cars.

The batmobile was all black and curvy like the front of a Corvette made beefier and taller with a back half like a dune buggy. The undercarriage had a strip of lights that changed from purple to blue. It was a truly impressive sight.
