MOUSE!!!

Ok so the above schematic gives you the scene that was this morning. I went to make mybreakfast - a lettuce and cheese sandwiched, toasted, no butter - and I was picking through the last bits of lettuce getting the best ones. I made a little pile of lettuce to use and went to throw the bad stuff out when I found amouse on top of the garbage can!! Without screaming I went upstairs and got dave and when we came down, it was gone. As was some of my lettuce!

So my thoughts are this: the mice have been watching me, studying my routine until today. The mouse in the garbage can was a decoy to make me leave my lettuce unattended. While I got Dave, another mouse, possibly two mice, stole my lettuce and took off to enjoy it with their mouse buddies. Clever mice - but they must go.

Traps are being set. Or a cat is being rented - though all the guys are allergic to cats so that won't work - but traps are being set! There will be no mice in house.
