Saw a mouse fall out from under his rust bucket Accord. Poor thing looked like it fell through a space portal. Ran from the lane to the left to the lane to the right trying to figure out what to do. Lost it under a Mercedes. Chuckled. Ain't never see no mouse fall out from a car in traffic before.

I've had ground squirrels live under my car before. Last year I drove an

I'm glad we keep our garage tidy enough for us both to park in.

Yup, squirrels are nothing more than tree rats. And I have personally seen rats

chew away the ENTIRE wiring harness of an old Ford pickup bed, leaving only the bare short wire ends sticking out of the tail lights. All wiring between that point and the cab of the truck was just.....GONE.

Needless to say, I had to tell the poor farmer his pickup would not pass State Inspection as is. This was back in the days when wiring on autos was still simple. It took me maybe an hour to completely rewire it and get the rear lights working again.

Running a country garage, I saw many other instances of rat wire damage, but that one was the most severe. I had a pretty good inkling of what I was going to find when the lights didn't work, as the pickup bed was still half full of corncobs and ears of corn. The rats had done a number on THOSE, too.
