Eek! A Mouse!

So folks do tend to get excitable when a mouse is around. I suppose it's no great surprise, considering the mounds of Christmas food we still have piled in the students' area. But yes, we have at least one. I'll have to take everybody's word for it, though, cuz it seems all have seen the li'l thing but me. I look, but I just can't see him. Oh well.

There is also the question as to whether there might be more than one. Cuz mouse sightings have been all over the place. So we either have one very fast, very well-traveled mouse, or he has compadres.

Fortunately, most everybody is interested in a humane solution, so we're gonna try to see if we can catch and release him, rather than killing him in a trap. I remember once having a mouse in the barracks. Catching him was actually rather simple. I set down a trash can on its side... terrified mouse saw safe haven... mouse ran into trash can... I took trash can outside. Here's hoping this will be as simple.

Of course, then one of the guys from the department next door comes by a little while ago and says "I'm really not trying to be funny, but I need a mouse."
