    damm, that's a lot of critters! I'll get 4 or 5 a year. Last winter I had 2 Kits stuck in the trash can and they were making an awful racket in the middle of the night. :headbang::picard:

    You and me both! Hate it when the kids have to go back. How far before you go back do you have to get back in school mode for preparation and all?
