Another Friend Update 2

About three this afternoon I woke from a nap. I decided to get up and start supper.

Both traps had been sprung again - I was getting good at reloading my weapons and getting them positioned just right. It was not going to take me long at this rate.

But it made me think - what if this was a family of mice. A mother, father, son and daughter just trying to get by? They might have been traveling to a new home and were just visiting long enough to get nourishment and some rest before continuing their trip.

Maybe this was their final location - some welcome I gave them. As the day wore on and my popcorn mines stayed in place and the camouflage kept my weapons hidden and the did not fire I wonderded if I might have guessed right.

I thought about what would have happen if someone had declared war on my family when we were so young. My brain was going places I would not have given a second thought if I had only caught one or two mice.

Then I heard a snap and I notched my sixth victory. Screw it I said out loud - you invaded my lands without permission - tough. I reloaded my weapon, relaid some mines and took another nap - war is very tiring.

It it now five am on Tuesday morning. Been watching TV and playing with blog setups and the computer in general. The Sitrep on the war has not changed. I just did Recon and none of the mines have been disturbed. Over twelve hours of no activity from the enemy. Maybe they retreated or maybe they are waiting for reinforcements.

I noticed the neighors outside cat sitting on my back porch - maybe he has been on patrol too. Maybe the mice are waiting for the next season - the yearly war - but maybe it is still too warm.

I'll keep my mines in place and we'll see what happens.

I'll live this report open for another day or so before declaring complete victory.
