Wayne Manor

If you looked around the Lindquist/Catenhauser house this week, you could quickly find famous characters from Batman, and that's excluding the bat incident that I spoke about in the last entry. Therefore, I've decided to name our new place Wayne Manor, for the Batman references and since it's near the main street in town, Wayne. I've attached a photo for reference.

First, it is apparent that Cat Woman lived here recently, since there are approximately five cats that roam the neighborhood, circling our house throughout the day. Melo, who is traditionally an outdoor cat is going crazy being inside. Apparently, cats need some time to adjust before being allowed to roam because they will look for their old house instead of the new house. So, Melo is inside for 1-3 months. The height of her craziness (to date) came at 11pm on a Wednesday evening, when a large black cat sat perched outside our bedroom window (to the left of the front porch). If you have never heard two cats "growl" at each other, then you are in for a treat. It sounds like evil crying children. I have never actually heard "evil crying children," but if you've ever heard it then you know what I mean.


Second, no doubt Poison Ivy touched the yard, because Will found some in the Northwest corner of our lot and weed wacked it accidently. The bush is the one in the bottom right corner of the picture. He has poison ivy on his hands, his arm, his neck, and almost half of his face.


That brings me to my next Batman character: Two Face. Yes, that's what Will looked like for the first week of class. According to his students, "Dr. L.", which I heard a student shout at him this evening, is the professor with poison ivy over half of his face. I still giggle thinking about it even though it really isn't that funny, but I've never had poison ivy, so I laugh.


Those are the characters that come to mind when I think of our most recent stories at Wayne Manor, but I have a feeling that others will come to mind. If not, Will has proclaimed himself a "walking blog," so I'm sure I'll have other stories from Indiana.
