Almost midnight and it has been raining for most of the day.
Okay, now it's after midnight and we just had a tremendous downpour as I was leaving work, but now the sky directly above is completely clear. I love these storms and when they are over the place smells incredible. It is the best clean of all.
I tried, but can't use the gopher trap. Even after it tricked me but hadn't really been caught I reset the trap and put it back into his tunnels, and felt so guilty that I finally got up in the night and took it out. I don't feel badly about killing the gopher if nothing else works, but I would feel terrible about inflicting a lingering, painful death on the creature. Does that mean I have to subdue it with my bare hands? No way. Have you seen those teeth?
