Austin has a huge bat population, and there was a bit of a rabies problem going around back when I was in junior high. I had to forcefully stop a classmate from touching one we found lolling about on the ground during school one day. She got all disdainful about how stupid I was being, of course it wasn't rabid, it was probably just sad because it was lost. WTF?! To this day part of me wishes I'd let her pick it up.
