So long, trusty Lumina.
Hello new Fit!
It’s been a very exciting day. Bought a car for the first time in my life. Then came home to make supper, and a mouse ran across my kitchen floor. Very near me. Following stereotype, I screamed loudly and sought a chair to jump up on. I wonder if that would have been my reaction had I not been conditioned by cartoons as a child. It was pretty instinctive, if not at all useful. Clearly the traps are not working. I upgraded the traps this weekend but found that the varmints had managed to lick off all the peanut butter without setting off the trap. I called an exterminator tonight and am hoping for a return call in the morning. I am going to try to stay here tonight but have avoided the kitchen. All the lights are on. I’m pretty jumpy. Actually, I guess I could sleep in my fancy new car. . . .

Congratulations on the new car!
If the mice are anything like cartoon mice, they are probably carrying sticks of dynamite or cigars that explode or even giant mallets that cause stars to circle that huge, conical lump that grows on your head. You did the right thing.
yay! Congrats! Hugs!
Great choice.
Looking fwd to meeting the new car in person & congratulating it on its new owner…
ooh, your new car is SO PRETTY! I love it! I can’t wait to see it in person!
and dude, I would’ve done the same thing – we’ve been catching – ugh – rats in the garage, and the traps we’ve got are working – Maybe Jacob can give you the details?
Congrats on the new car! Ah, that new car smell….
Have you ever heard of Ratzapper (www.ratzapper.com)? It’s like a little taser in a box for mice, rats, etc. It has worked for us and there’s much less gross-ness when it zaps something.
Such a good choice! I haven’t been disappointed, yet!
