Ain't Complicated

Dead Mouse Died Mysterious Death

Yesterday morning, before anyone else was up, I stepped into our closed, attached garage and saw a puzzling scene.

A dead mouse lay on the floor. Weird.

I stepped over to where I could see the trap I’d set the night before. It was sprung and empty. Weird.

We have no critter poison available for public consumption in the garage. (Not for non-public consumption, either).

We have no interested-in-killing-mice-but-not-eating-them cat. (No cat at all, for that matter.)

I didn’t tinker with the scene at all, not in real life, not on my computer, not on any digital device.

So what’s the explanation for this?

See the upside down sprung trap in the “alley”?

I don’t know what happened.

What’s your theory?

Prohibited at Night

Some laws, codes, and ordinances boggle the mind for their brazen assault on freedom.

“It shall be prohibited for any person or group of persons to loiter or congregate on Bourbon Street for the purpose disseminating any social, political, or religious message between the hours of sunset and sunrise.”
