And another tonight by the cat food. I’ve lost count but my friend Amy said they caught 26 one year in their old house in Michigan. I hope we don’t have that many!

Mount St. Helens
Here’s a panoramic view of Mount St. Helens that shows how far the lava dome has risen since 2003. It requires QuickTime which is a free download from here.
We really need to get up there again. It’s been several years since we last took the boys up there – Graham might not even remember it.

Snap!
This morning I followed my usual routine before departing for work:
- Wake
- Shower
- Dress
- Check email
While performing the last task, I heard a loud “SNAP” which was definitely in close proximity to my office. I peeked around the corner by the CD shelf and saw that the mouse trap there was now upside down, but appeared to be empty. I picked it up to reset it only to find that it was not empty. A very small mouse was twitching and expelling its dying breath. I set it down and returned to my office to finish reading email. After a few minutes I returned to the trap and found that the mouse was dead.
Sunday I repositioned all the traps and it has proven to be a good idea. Sunday night we got one by the cat food and now this one by my office.
