After we had been in the tent for a few hours we realized we were not the only inhabitants. We saw a mouse run across the floor a few times. It was no big deal we've seen them most of the time here in the land of the deployed. A few days later we realize these guys are very bold. Phil said one was in his shoe/sock when he reached for it. Then we watched as one crawled up into our lockers...that was enough. Phil bought some traps. We knew it would not take long since they were so brave to move around with us in the tent. After an hour or so we heard the tell-tale snap (oh the pun). This photo captures the scene of the aftermath. None of us were that upset that we had to set the traps, but none of us wanted mice pellets in our stuff.
Other than that it was a very average day. I went to church in the morning and really enjoyed the service. It made me sad that I missed so many Sunday morning services since we mostly worked on Sundays. I spent some of the day escaping the heat of the tent in the Chapel's Rocker Lounge. It's a nice quiet room with comfy chairs where you can sit and enjoy some reading. Since the mid-day heat makes the tent well over 100- it's a nice option.
I spent the evening playing some computer games with the guys. No movie tonight - they are having some American Idol knock-off event here on base. That's not really my thing to watch so computer games sounded like more fun.
