Animal Heaven

It’s another busy week with little time to write. So I’ll tell you a couple of highlights from my day. It all started out normal. I had to run an errand and on my way back to work I ran over a black cat that darted out onto the freeway. The van in front of me swerved and almost lost control of his vehicle. I, on the other hand, became very Darwinian. It was survival of the animal driving the largest vehicle. God rest its soul.

I also found myself driving a forklift today. As I hopped on I noticed a mouse had chewed up the foam from some padding surrounding the standing area. As I inspected it, the mouse ran away. I tried pounding it to send it off to mouse heaven but it got away. After I was done with the forklift, I noticed more movement. I carefully lifted the pad and about a half dozen baby mice scampered around the innards of the forklift. I spent the next hour trying to rid the forklift of baby mice. Long story short, I used a shop-vac. I sucked those little mice right out of the forklift and into mice heaven.

So today I killed a cat and several mice. Perhaps they will play together today in animal heaven. And, by the way, I am only responsible for the black cat behind the gate on the left side of the picture. All the other cats were freed from this world by someone else. There are no mice in this picture because the cats ate them.
