Hi Donna and All=20
This story reminds me of years ago when the
ice fishing for pickerel first started. A friend wanted
to try it so we planned to go one cold morning.
Before we left I checked my mouse trap in the basement
and had caught a mouse. So I put it in a plastic bag and put
it in my pocket. and forgot it was there.
While we were fishing a fellow came around doing a survey of
what we were using for bait. I remembered the mouse and quickly
put it on my hook and down the hole.
He came to me and asked what I was using. A mouse I said - A what?
he answered I said Une souris! - I understand English he said and when
I showed him the wet mouse on the hook I though he would barf!=20
I'll not eat any fish from this lake he said as he stomped off!
Have an enjoyable week!
Paul

My mother=E2=80=99s gray jays are still coming to the yard regularly for =
food. They are believed to be nesting nearby.

On Friday, the cat caught a mouse, possibly its first one (it=E2=80=99s =
a young cat). It dropped it near the door before it entered the house. =
A short while later, my mother saw a gray jay flying toward the woods =
with a large piece of cargo on board (in its beak). She looked out to =
see most of the mouse was gone. The cat hadn=E2=80=99t eaten any of it, =
so I guess the gray jays ate well that day.
