I got in late last night after going to see the most excellent local band Resistor at Gordon Biersch, then back to the newsroom to try to get some work done (ha, ha!). Well, I can *try*. Said howdy to Blaine, then headed for home after going through a few e-mails.
Got home at maybe 2 a.m. Pulled the car into the garage, got out and walked toward the door to hit the "close garage door" button. The door started rolling down, and I stood there watching it close, and when it got about a foot from being closed, a little gray figure came scuttling toward the door, really hauling ass. I could almost hear his squeaky little voice yelling, "Don't close it! I'm not in yet!"
Cute little mousey ran almost over my slippah'd feet, under the weight bench and disappeared in the space between my Harleys. Hope he didn't get his feet oily — one of the bikes likes to mark its territory.
I knew I had mice, I've seen them before in the garage, but I don't really worry about it too much. I just thought it was cute, the way it was obviously trapped outside and waiting for me to open the garage door so it could get back inside. Probably has a nest full of babies -- uh-oh. Wish I hadn't thought of that.
This thread is for encounters with mammalian Hawaii wildlife, big and small.
