Oh nothing, just kill number fourteen! This was fun. I recently learned another useful bit of information from www.ratkill.com that got me my fourteenth kill. Rats can't see red light! My goodness. So I went to Fry's electronics and bought a Mag Light with a red filter. Then I bought a couple of Mag Light mounts and glued them together and snapped it on to my rifle. That very night, the rat detector tipped me off. I got up, turned on the light on the gun, and walked into the garage. I immediately pointed at the corner of the garage where the hole is. I saw no activity within the red vignette that my new Mag Light provided. I panned all over the garage and saw nothing. Since I have perfect faith in the rat detector, I continued to look for the culprit by slowly and quietly climbing the ladder in the middle of the garage. Once I got a three hundred sixty degree view of the garage I found it. The little grey rat had been frozen above my head the whole time just sitting on the two-by-four above the door jamb. Not only was it just a few inches above my head a minute previous, but it was now only about three feet away from the barrel of my gun. It was just sitting there, looking puzzled at the red light. I had a perfectly clean shot. Unfortunately, I had to wait. My dog was waiting right below and I did not want her running around with a flea ridden varmint in her mouth. Finally, the little rat decided to leave its "hiding place". So it hopped around a vertical stud and almost disappeared. I almost thought it was gone until its head poked out from behind the stud. It was negotiating a jump to another stud in order to cut the corner. As soon as its little head was in view, I let one rip. It looked as if someone had cut a few frames out of the film. The rat was instantaneously laying on its side vibrating like crazy. Its vibrations eventually sent it careening off of the stud and down into a bucket leaving a trail of splattered blood down the drywall. Here, Look!
It's under the twine at the bottom of the bucket.
There it is without stuff in it.
It left me a Jackson Pollock!
Is that brain?
That's the other side of the head. I think it came out the ear.
