The stain

Well, at least I left a couple of memorable posts to stain the record throughout my venerable blogging career.  You never know when it's gonna end; here today, gone tomorrow.  

I had been thinking of the mouse war for a long time because it was a topic of interest throughout my youth.  How many times in world history do 100 million field mice invade a town?  
It must have been terrifying. Good god almighty!  
When you turned back the bed covers, there were mice; when you opened a drawer, mice flew out in your face until every facet of life was impacted not for one day or week but an entire month at Christmastime.  
It was biblical wrath poured out with a plague of mice.  Some would say the seal was broken because it became a bastion for the Klan beginning then.  It's all well-documented.  They would prefer to forget it because the same forces continue operating from the musty shadows at this very moment.  This lurking horror presents an ugly spectre occasionally surfacing while remaining unchallenged regarding the notion of that madness.  

Then one evening, the apocalyptic nightmare occurred, awash in a sea of liquor, lashed together with a few raw facts and submitted for your approval in the Twilight Zone...







I'm gonna take a nap now.
