Get a life. This morning I had to pull a dead mouse out of a trap. I find that more emotional than old correspondence.

Worse, I've found injured and trapped ones.
I'm nominally kind hearted but they wake me at night and they eat wires.

That can't be saved. That's the "worse" with finding a live one.

But then...

We have a pair of mated grey squirrels, trying to make a nest here. We have a fair amount of property, but OF COURSE, they "need" to make that next right up next t the house someplace, OR in Mr. H's car's engine, or by tunneling beneath the front porch. Nothing seems to deter them, and neither one of wish to kill them, but...it's getting old.

Irish Pine Martins apparently find grey squirrels easier to catch and eat than red ones, which is good news for the local red squirrels (the greys in Ireland and UK are North American origin and reduce the reds by several methods).

The Pine Martin was thought extinct in Ireland but it's recovering.

What is it with fanfic authors deleting their works when they've barely been up two hours?

Maybe they don't know how to use the interface very well? They may have posted a draft they didn't intend to.

Some archives are a lot easier to post on that others.

I thought of 'accidentally posted a draft' but this happens at a frequent enough basis that I can't imagine it being that common.

Then I have no idea. Anyone ever post a reason why? Do they ever come back?
