Keeping mice out of storage boats
 

Don't ask why it works but I accidently found a way to keep mice out of
winter storage boats. We hang autographed pictures of rush limbaugh, bill o'
reilly and ann couture in the cuddy and engine compartments.

Wow, even their pictures have enough stench to run mice away!!

It won't work for long.

I used to moor where my boat was a perch for "Hussein" the heron. Great
blue herons leave a great white puddle when they poo- imagine a gallon
of whitewash spilled on the deck decorated with chunks of regurgitated
pizza.

In an effort to thwart Hussein, I tried leaving the AM radio turned on
to 24 hour talk stations.
It worked for a short period of time. Naturally the first station I
tried had a number of fairly progressive hosts, (wouldn't want anybody
walking by my boat to get the wrong impression),
but after the first couple of days Hussein was back with all of his
nasty habits once again.
In desperation, I turned to the local station that pumps out a steady
stream of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Michael Savage, and the like.
The right wing hosts didn't seem to faze Hussein at all, leaving me
wondering about the heron's politics as well as whether he was simply
too smart or too stupid to be frightened by (either liberal or
conservative) political extremists. I find a lot of that stuff pretty
scary, myself.

I'm at a loss to recommend a permanent solution for you. It's pretty
obvious that if your first herd of mice were driven off by photos of
right wing extremists, their exodus may only create space for a group
of mice with different political preferences. The neo-mice may turn
your boat into some sort of venerated shrine. The neo- mice will be
more interested in having very large families, and will spend a greater
number of hours per day working at their professional task-destroying
your boat.

You could always hang up photos of John Kerry, HIllary Clinton, and
Barak Obama to disperse any mice previously attracted to Limbaugh,
Coulter, et al....but the risk you run if you do so is that you could
then be plagued with a herd of Democratic precinct chairmen
all trying to register your next batch of rodents to vote.... :-)

Do you have a couple of neighbors you don't care for much? You could
always hang the conservative photos in one neighbor's boat (thereby
diverting the conservative mice in that direction) and the liberal
photos in another's.

Oh, hell no!! NOYB wouldn't say a bad word against anything right wing
or any right wing agenda if his family's life depended on it! He must
be spinning his head off right now, what with Bush saying he wants to
increase troops, but most of the right wing along with the Joint Chiefs
of Staff, Colin Powell, and most of the military brass saying that
won't work!

The trick was to get rid of the mice. Hanging photos of John Kerry, HIllary

would attract bilge rats. I'd rather have a few conservative mice running
around.

Yeah, politicized mice are tough. Next thing you know they'll be
posting off topic on the internet and making a mess out of everything.

Happy holidays everyone, I'm going boating in a few minutes.

As much as I hate to admit this, I really enjoy her singing - she's

Oh, she can sing all right! I was thinking more about that mug!

At times, with the right lighting & makeup she can look quite fetching.
Remember her earlier movies like 'The Way We Were', 'What's Up Doc' etc?
