Comments for Musings of a Creative Slacker http://www.cugley.co.uk "Creative Slacker" referrs to the fact that I should be doing creative stuff - writing, art, 3D animation, RPG stuff, but I don't. Maybe "lazy bastard" would be more appropriate.

Your game's keystrokes coincided with Winamp controls previously unknown to me and turned the music on and off, rewound and re-started. So there's no need to add music, it's all there already.

I know that rattlesnakes will die if relocated more than a mile from their habitat of origin, and less than a mile, they return. This, from a research study. I'm wondering if it isn't the same for all animals. I'm in Maine, it's winter and I'd never relocate the mice outdoors, they would die. SO I'm relocating them to my potting shed which is a passive solar building, very warm in winter. Close to the house though. I'm feeding them to keep them there and I've moved 5 thus far. Today is the first day I did not see droppings, and I'm thinking they came back into the house. I'm going to identify them with a little blue dye (ointment) to ensure i'm not retrapping the same mice over and over. I will say this: The mouse I trapped this morning went into the trap before I set it: It was sitting on the counter, no bait. Seemed a little too familiar with that trap. I have few options. Absolutely impossible to plug holes, the house is too old. The only other option I'd consider: Trap the mice and put the into individual tanks so they don't reproduce, then set them free in spring. That is humane and safe, yet I'd need to keep them isolated. I tried using peppermint to dissuade them, and they are not at all bothered by the odor. I am willing to work on this over time, and to get it right. I will not kill mice, and I will not take them far away where they'll die of exposure. They do fascinate me, and they are very very cute. It is a matter of finding the right balance for all who seem to find refuge in this old house. Where did you get the info on how far away to relocate the mice?

And owls need to eat, too... I have semi-seriously thought about getting a hamster habitrail setup, and any mice I catch get put in the gulag, where I can mock them mercilessly and re-educate them into productive members of society. But that would be silly.
