Make that mice – it seems that my knew home has come with a few. And lately they have become a bit more bold: coming out of hiding in the middle of the day for food, managing to debait traps unscathed. So I recently had to step up my efforts. Read more “A Man Or a Mouse”

Paradise Stop-Lossed
I recently rented the movie Stop-Loss. While I appreciate the value of a military, I myself would be the last person to suit up for that type of role.

But I am doing something about it. The trouble is that it is not an easy thing to fix. Read more “Weight For It …”
