"You'd think someone would notice a vampire flying by 30 feet over the streets...even at night." Yes, you *would* think that! But on the other hand, people see what they expect to see and they don't see what they don't expect to see. I was ready to dismiss the notion that a bat had just flown by my head one evening when I was up in our attic. It happened so fast and I couldn't find it afterward for quite a while. But it did, because I found it later. Another evening I thought I saw something swoop by me outside, but thought I was imagining things until, yes, there it was! A tiny screech owl shape on the lowest branch of the crabapple tree. And then there was the mourning cloak butterfly in the apple orchard....How many times have I missed these sorts of things? Of course, compared to a bats, screech owls, and butterflies Nick is really big. But he's up high and when he wants to he can fly really fast. People don't spend all that much time looking up. When a big shape flies past, the last thing they'd think is "vampire". Shadow, big bird, maybe a trip to the optometrist. Once in a while somebody will believe his/her eyes, (like Nick's friend in colonial American in "Dying to Know You" but who's going to believe them? B.

Nick just sends out a broadband 'whammy' which covers several square miles. Could happen ;-) ------------------------------ End of FORKNI-L Digest - 12 Feb 2008 to 13 Feb 2008 (#2008-40) **************************************************************
