But I'll try to attract some feeding bats too, since there'll be more light then. I've heard that tossing the right size wadded up bits of bread in the air can draw them nearer. I lived in Singapore when I was a child, and there were a lot of bats flying around in the evening. We used to

Yes, Kim and I will have to arrive at a level of softening we both like. She's extremely lean and muscular and works as both a fitness model and a general purpose photo model. Her aggressive, muscular look is her calling card, so we don't want to cancel it. But at the same time, I think I can
