I believe they're back near the end of this month.

Flashback, folks. I just stopped by the Golden Bears' ticket office. They are $15 apiece. I can pick them up for you, if you like (in which case, send me an email before noon tomorrow). Otherwise, you can hit up Ticketmaster (and that sweet, sweet convenience they charge you for) here.

when are Jere and Tony coming back?

AD, I was thinking of the Occipital lobe.

I messed up the function though, it's visual processing, not motor coordination.

the normal traps have worked for me, use peanut butter. works every time. We are rat free, deffinatly not mouse free.

Taylor... what was I going to say?

oh, this: with a mouse trap, you MUST make sure the bugger can't get back out of whatever it is you're using. So... assuming you know this already, I'm sure your garbage cans/buckets/whatever don't have any bag lining etc., right? That may otherwise make them ineffective.

um... what else. oh. Mice like to run along the edges of stuff, so set your traps up close to walls. not only will it make you less likely to step on them, but they're more likely to catch the furry monsters too. though some mice are rather ingenious. Best of luck catching the little guy.



aww damn, I just saw my first flock of geese flying in a "V" in roughly the correct direction.

"My tank is fight" is on sale! I know what I'll be reading for a while.

hmm... as of this morning, the traps have not been sprung. I'm gonna get one of those box-traps tonight and set that up in the house too.

Then I'm gonna clean the house thoroughly and get a cat.

Fuck the landlord.

We are a rat-free province, apparently, but not mice-free.

That humane trap is actually quite ingenious. I am excited to see if it works. We had a mouse in our house not too long ago too, but I told my Dad to get rid of it and not tell me how. I think he decided to poison it, which means that somewhere in my house there is a mouse carcass. Eww.

I thought Alberta was a mouse and rat free province... Actually I don't think that would be the case since it is really hard to eliminate all those rodents. Though we are pretty capable of brining extinction to countless species on this earth. To quote Homer:

"Come on Humans! We wiped out entire species of animals before! We can do it again!"

That is exciting. I'm really curious to see how that works, since the last time we had a mouse in the house, the inhumane traps were not only, well, inhumane, but also ineffective. (The mouse ended up trapping itself in a bucket(?!), for easy removal by me.) At the least, it seems like an idea brilliant in its simplicity.

I can't help but ask, though, based on my previous experience. Has your guys' kitchen been sufficiently cleaned up to let you notice little, uh, presents? I seem to recall quite a few of those every morning when we had our visitor.
