7. October, 2003 - great wide hunter outsmarted by mouse
- Last night I finally saw the the mouse I mentioned yesterday. Heard the scrabbling and could actually pinpoint the sound. The mouse has been eating some roasted barley that’s sitting in a beer kit I’ve had sitting in the kitchen for a while. So I set a mousetrap in the escape route, and about two hours later, heard it go off. But no mouse in the trap. Drat! I reset a trap with no bait (but right where he’s gotta run if he’s using that path) just in case the critter’s afraid of the scent of peanut butter now (there are a couple other traps still set with peanut butter, too). The hunt continues.
- Summer makes a comeback in town this week. I’m enjoying the weather, but this is one where I think I’d enjoy it a lot more if I didn’t have so many things on my to-do list. Yeah, I made some time to get outside yesterday, but I felt guilty about it at the time.
- U.S. Report Fails to Link Gun Laws to Violent Crime, or suicides, or firearms accidents. So why exactly do we have “gun control” laws at all? [instapundit]
- A-B drops support of Holden over guns. It appears to be the first time in quite a while that Anheuser-Busch has taken a firm stand on any issue, rather than supporting candidates on both sides of the aisle. Apparently the ability for people to carry a concealed firearm is important to August Busch III. Kudos to BUD for taking a stand. [endwar]
- I think I might have to buy this T-shirt celebrating Diversity.
- Then again, who needs a gun if you’ve got a Trunk Monkey?
- On yet another hand, this Fun Ammo looks like it might be more interesting than a Trunk Monkey. So many toys. So little time. Of course, the neighbors would not approve.
- Patriot Act requiring people to provide detailed personal information to banks, which is not only costing banks extra money, but requiring a lot of extra information from people opening new accounts. Yeah, it’s a provision of the act that’s just going into effect now, and once again people are surprised by how intrusive it is. [endwar]
- Says here It’s my world. That being the case, there are a few changes I’d like to make…
