A better mouse trap (or the replacement killers)

Published by Carter under This old house, Personal

We tried. We tried not to use the Murder, Death, Kill-type mouse traps. We went so far as to buy high-frequency mouse deterrents, but they wouldn’t stay away.

So we broke down and bought some killer traps- the old school mouse traps and some mouse bait. My wife did not like the idea of mice eating the bait, then “crawling back into the walls to die and rot” so we went old school.

After snapping the traps on my fingers a few times, I finally got two traps set (one on the counter, the other in a cabinet). By morning both traps had done their job.

Plane Cheesy-movie edition

Published by Carter under Movies, Personal

While flying back from California last weekend I was served United’s Cheez-it-esque crackers Plane Cheesy. While snacking on these treats I thought of two things:

Will the in-flight movie ever be Snakes on a Plane?

Since Snakes on a Plane was such a failure, who thought Zombies on a Plane would make a better movie?
