When it comes to our embattled Gov. Dead Meat. He insists he’s “absolutely innocent”. Yeah, right. What his lawyer is saying is this, “The governor did nothing wrong and the evidence against him was illegally obtained”. This simply does not add up! No matter how the evidence was garnered, there is incontrovertible evidence of his wrongdoing. Just because the evidence may have been gathered illegally does NOT MAKE HIM INNOCENT!! Am I the only one seeing the gap in the logic here?
In other news: There is an unidentified species of rodent in our basement. According to Chris, (who saw it, I have not), it is “black, bigger than a mouse, and doesn’t have a tail”. Which to my mind leaves either a vole or a rat. Mooch seems fascinated by where it’s supposedly at, but won’t make a move to touch it or try to catch it. The other two boys could just care less. I picked Buddy up from his spot on my bed, took him downstairs, showed him the last suspected place for said rodent, and informed him that it was time to pay some rent on his cushy accommodations. I also informed him I did not want the resulting carnage left in my bed or on my desk as a gift; to exercise his discretion as nature’s garbage disposal and dispose of it. He gave me a look like, “you got me up for THIS???” and followed me right back upstairs. Sinatra gave me the “Siamese death glare” when I avoided his attempt to get on my lap and told him to go catch the rodent instead. We don’t want to use bait or poison or sticky traps, due to said lazy felines. That leaves humane traps, IF I can find some, and if curiosity doesn’t get the better of said felines and they bat it around and make it useless for it’s stated purpose. Of the three cats, Mooch is most likely to catch whatever it is, but once she manages to play it to death and it stops moving, she’ll lose interest and leave it to rot wherever…which means we’ll have to track it down to stop the smell. Yuk. UPDATE: Chris is looking at a solution that involves target shooting with a pellet gun…shakes head in disbelief.
Snow Day for Chris. Second one in a row, I think this might be a first for his job. We actually got him out there today only to be faced with an empty parking lot and one boss who said there was a problem with getting the word out to the local radio station that announces closures. So he’s home and I have to brave the icy streets for work. NOT my idea of fun.
