Ok meara! I hope that`s how it works! This will be the first time I`ve flown out of Show Low, and the last time I flew tiny planes was before all the luggage brouhaha.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

I will theoretically be watching Undercovers. I say theoretically because I have yet to watch any of this week`s new shows since Mad Men.

Lord. Just had Loki out on the deck. Rat goes skittering down the alley and into someone's garage (shudder.) Did he notice it? NO. LOKI FAIL. Damnit. I kinda want to take my cats out to pee to deter the rodents. I like rats. Just not as anything other than pets.

We have rodents in our woodpile on the deck, I know because of the droppings. But so far, knock on wood, not inside. I think it`s just cute little mice, though, based on, umm, other evidence I`ve seen. Although I did just shoo a spider off the bed. I checked. Not a black widow, so it can stay and help me combat fruit flies.
Ooh, and I saw a little watersnake today during my lake swim. I also cannot swim in a straight line to save my life. I realize I have, like, currents and stuff, but seriously. I will never be able to share a lane when it`s winter and pooltime. I can barely stay in the lane itself! Must fix, but I don`t know what I`m doing.

Sara, just bribe a guy friend with a big old hamburger, or steak and have him pee around the house. (I'd say DIY, but it's a bit easier for a dude.)

I would say to make it easy for the guy earn the hamburger or steak, prepay with a few beers.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Girl pee doesn't work?

Maybe I think Erin is working on the theory that girls have more reluctance to pee out doors and that precise placement is a bit harder for girls.

Hah! I've already had one neighbor volunteer her husband (after I helped them load shelves up the stairs) but really, it is just the screamy factor. I don't think I can ask him to pee around the house, no matter how freaking green they are. Rats had a poop party around my empty trash, that does concern me. I'm gonna try the "make it stink to rats" first and go from there. Damnit.
Had a rustle in the leaves out front tonight as I was returning from the pool, which involved me lecturing suspect mice that they can live in my leaves, but my house=CERTAIN DEATH. I don't care what my neighbor's tenants think of me now.

Yeah--usually as you're boarding the tiny plane there's a cart next to it that you put your baggage on, and then you wait next to it when you get off the plane (so it adds a few minutes) at your destination. And then you can get on the next plane and overhead-bin it.

I...read these as related. And kept re-reading, trying to understand how ita got from steak to girl pee. Was this another weird ita link? It took like, SIX readings to connect this to sara's rats.
