yet to be confirmed improvement are remodeling of the cafeteria, updating the

Quote of the Month from Linda Garbe Be
daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity
of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers,
the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary. -- Sir Cecil Beaton |

Mice It’s that time of the year again when mice are looking for
a cozy place to spend the winter. We
know they are back when we start finding dog food in odd places. Another clue, of course, is finding their
small dark droppings. From http://www.doyourownpestcontrol.com/mice.htm:
“Mice
can eat about 10 to 15% of their body weight every day, the adults
weighing about 5/8-1 oz. Mice also cache food as supply permits. Mice are
active mostly at night, but they can be seen occasionally during daylight
hours. ·
·
All food that is stored, processed or used
should be made mouse-proof. Dried grain and meat products should be stored in
glass jars, metal canisters or other resealable
airtight containers. “ |
