Just last year I was on my way to pick up Mr. Sthole from a hunting afternoon when a mouse crossed in front of my vehicle. I had never thought of myself as a screetcher but there I was, in my car, all alone, protected by a ton of steel and I screetched as that mouse ran in front of my head lights. If that's how I act when one is OUTSIDE of my car, how well do you think I'd handle it if one got … [Read more...]
