Good pernt, Ruth.  You caught our Newspapery Friend in a spelling error.  The thing he knocked down was a batt.

Tut, tut, Tuttlingen.

Hey, just be thankful it was that kind of bat, not the kind that makes
guano, they can carry rabies and like to hide in attics.  Ruth

i love it when you talk dirty.

hey, i was cleaning out my wife's "attic" ( = triangular crawl space 100
feet long and 24 inches on a side) and knocked down an old insulation bat,
all crumbly inside, sort of ripped apart, I was covered in it, i'm still
sort of coughing.   house insulated in 1952, possibly much later.  but no
later than 1970's.

what are the chances it was the bad stuff?
