Very funny Mr Slowness. Thanks for the chuckle. Here's a picture of what I 
saw that day prior to the murders.

### If I find a mouse trap in a shelter, I bait/set it even before I 
get

water. Yes, there's no small amount of satisfaction to hearing that

"THWACK" go off, and the more you can get done early in the night, 
the

quieter your night will be. But I have concerns about taking 
foodstuffs

away from any predator snakes in the area, so I'm genuinely 
conflicted

about hitting the local meese population and then starving the 
longer-term

predator residents.....

'Course, I've been known to put the trophies out on 
voiceover  Os-ten-TA-shus DIS-play, so'as not to put them out of reach 
for

potential diners, but some [humans] have expressed squeamishness 
about

that sort of thing.

 

(Reminds me of this time... I don't know... back a bit, I think it 
was

somewhere in Vermont... .... ... we'd just left the shelter when, just 
as

we get around the corner, we hear in back of us "EEEEK! EEK! EEWWW! 
OH!

YUKKK!!! OHHHHH!"

I sent the kids back around the corner and they said some woman was 
there,

hopping up and down right over the mice we'd so carefully laid out,

smacking her backside and spinning all around in an Irish jig. Scared 
my

kids half to death.)

 

Honest.
