Wilderness Techie

I'm a tech guy. Computers mostly, web design, programming, etc. I've even tried my hand at raytracing. I live with my family on a 120 acre farm in south Missouri with any number of chickens, a horse, two ponies, 5 dogs, 29 cats, a few ginueas, about 80 goats or so and some Kikos, a bourke parakeet, 2 budgeragars, 2 lovebirds and 5 cockatiels. Oh, and about 25 head of cattle too; forgot about those. lol :)

Rodents

Yes those, and others.

This morning when I woke up I heard a noise, like a scratching coming from by my desk. There is a paper bag there, and I assumed a bird had landed in there again and needed to be fetched out.
I looked in the bag, no bird. Next, check bird cages. Summer, Rosie, Indy, BB1, BB2 all accounted for. hmmmm
Time to investigate. Arming myself with a nearby plastic juggling club, I made the move. First moving the attache spy garment bag, then some newspapers, I found the source of the noise. A thin tail, like a whip moved out from under the next paper then back under. The soloution?
I took the club, and whacked the newspaper all over. When I lifted the paper, there it was, a tiny mouse that must have been eating my newspapers. How it got in my room I have nooo idea! I checked behind my desk and no holes or anything. It must have been the same one I heard running around on my ceiling the night of the worm invasion. So I gave it to the cats.

Life can be strange! lol
