Bats of Barcelona


You've got to like a city that chooses, of all things, a bat as its heraldic symbol. Local legends are a bit tangled on the subject - some say a bat woke King Jaume (James) at a critical time, others say the bat landed on is spear and he took it as a sign of good luck -- although historians say the bat was actually a swallow in the original text --- not the first time King James has been misinterpreted.

The good stuff:

Singing along to Bob Dylan - filling in all the words you know, even though you can't understand a word he's singing.
college towns
thistle down
puppy muzzles
new boots
maps
legends
turnpike plazas
truckstop coffee
security monkeys
