Reminds me of when I was a kid and I'd spend the day out in the rafters of the corn crib just before they started filling it with the Fall harvest. It was great fun -- I'd get a free couple boxes of .22 shorts and sit there with my .22 single shot, blasting mice and rats. What was most interesting was that after I shot a rat, it was only a short wait until another would come out to retrieve the corpse. When I was younger, I had the delusion that it was because the family wanted to give their loved one a proper burial. -- Harmon Seaver CyberShamanix http://www.cybershamanix.com
