I read today that mice (and other rodents, like squirrels) are allergic to mint and can be warded off by keeping the plants in one's kitchen and putting peppermint-soaked cotton balls in cabinets and crevices. I may just give that a try since my traps have had no effect.

I see today's Star Trek marathon has gotten to the good ones, with VI just starting up. So much better than turning on the TV to see Lawrence Luckenbill in Vulcan ears earlier today.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Huh. I like mint!

I think I am buying a small white Christmas tree tomorrow if I find one on 50% off and then I'll do an all pink decorated tree next year. I was kinda shocked that stuff in Target was not 50% off yet last week, it has been for the past several years.

Are people seeing Christmas stuff marked way down yet?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I've had peppermint soaked cotton balls work with a minor mouse incursion.

My guess is it might be because of the weekend being so close to Xmas that they expect big crowds yet, not just last minuters.

Because a migraine kept me from eating at my Birthday party last week, friends took me out tonight. Charbroiled Salmon with Creme Brulee for desert. Enjoyed both the dinner and the company. I believe the unofficial translation for Creme Brulee is "goes directly to the hips".

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Today was brunch at Boone Hill, which is one of those halfway-up-the-mountain places, this time next to a teensy river. Food was nice and hearty, and the dessert was good, solid, and Jamacan. Mmm hmm.

I've been discovering an issue with the Teavana brewing travel mug. Heat retention. When I'm out, without my temperature controlled brewing, everything is as close to 212 as it can get, and this shit does not cool down. The tea I brewed in Miami was still hot when I handed it to my father at the front door of our house. Yoinks.

I am wondering--is there a patron saint of kidney stone emergencies? And what kind of appeasement they take? Whatever they need, to back off the 'fistas, I don't care if these are just stats, and our incidence is proportional to the world at large. I don't want to be the world at larget. Like,

Question for the room:

What is the youngest age a child can be intentionally mischievous? 2?
