Outsmarted... by a mouse!

A tiny field mouse has been the bane of my existence for the past week. He (or possibly she) has been slowly and surgically destroying my wife's lilium garden in my back yard in what appears to be an attempt to build a nest.

This little brat seems to have a sixth sense. He avoided the traps I baited with peanut butter, and now seems to be avoiding the glue traps that I set out.

Having made me spend a significant chunk of change on gear that only proves unsuccessful in the attempts to capture him, I have to admit defeat.

'Tis a dark day, for I, Steven Ng, have been outsmarted... by a mouse.
