2. To kill the mouse/rat in our house.... (I hope it's singular, and not plural)....the only thing available is this substance called, "Magic Glue." Tons of mice in this country, but not a darn mousetrap. Go figure! But this mouse glue stuff is crazy. It's basically just strong super glue, but the Rwandans swear by it. It's actually made in China, and on the back, it reads...."Being toxic, this substance is not dangerous and can be safely used in homes." Don't they mean, being "non-toxic?" Not sure. It IS made in China!
Anyway...you delicately spread this stuff on a piece of cardboard....(we found some in our front yard)....then you put some cheese on there and wait. I bet it was hilarious watching us try to spread the stuff....we were stuck all over the place. The Rwandans were right...it did work....but it was not so much fun seeing the poor little mouse stuck to the cardboard, suffering. Sadly, Micah had to drown him. Maybe it would have been better if it had really been toxic. :-(
3. There's these people that have been coming around and "labeling'' all the many potholes in our community. This is no small task. We've heard that it means that sometime in the next decade, they might be fixed....so it's good news! The funny thing is how they label them. They spray paint a white square around all of them, along with a number. But there's some squares that have like 3 or 4 potholes, but they only have one number. It's funny when I'm running, I'll see hole #26, and then hole #39 right beside it. I still haven't figured out their numbering system. Just yesterday, hole #8 was painted right outside our house! Yay! (or is that #8 AND #9???)
