[…] It’s no secret that I can’t stand mice. They’re okay in the wild, because they keep to themselves. But in the house? No, not on my watch. And yet it’s happened again. […]

You have to use a Martial Roar, Neo, to warn animals.

If an animal sees you and isn’t already freezing or running, you making loud noises just attracts their attention.

This mouse was either blind or partially domesticated, not to be running away from humans. Maybe it was starving.

I like this version of The Night Before Christmas better than the original: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1927/12/24/a-visit-from-saint-nicholas-in-the-ernest-hemingway-manner

I’ll take mice over bedbugs and roaches any day. Mice are really not that bad. They’re even cute sometimes.

I have a small (heh) mouse story of no consequence. But F, I liked your description of *propelling* your mouse! The murine drive is a real option now.

I always figured that, like Tribbles, mice must be ‘born pregnant?’

Happy New Year Neo!

If this incident had occurred this year I would have sworn he was probably there to check out your fabulous new fridge and its tasty offerings – (and your world-famous mustard collection in particular).

Merry Christmas to you, Neo, to all your regular commentariat and to your silent majority of readers as well.

The plastic container was immediately thrown out, of course!

When I was growing up, every winter, field mice would take shelter in our house. One year when were went away on vacation, they set up an elaborate homestead in our kitchen drawers: one drawer was the pantry with a pile of dog food, pile of peanut brittle, a pile of Chex… Another drawer was probably the bedroom with a pile of feathers, foam and dog hair. The top drawer was the apparent “water closet” with piles of mouse dung all through. Thank good for sanitizing dishwashers!

Another year, when we were on vacation, a mouse chewed a hole in a box of peanut brittle and took the pics of peanut brittle for a picnic in the planter on the dining room side board.

The worst memory was the night I woke up with a mouse nestled in my hair… He scurried away… I scrubbed my head.

P.S. Neo: Will you ever be able to use that plastic bowl again?
