Small Thieves

   Last week I stopped at Costco on the way home. Among my purchases was a package of Kirkland almonds. My boss mentioned she liked the raw almonds, so Friday I stuffed a ziplock bag full of them, and dropped them off at the office for her.
   Today I went to work and found that our office had some small thieves.
   Construction projects outside and inside our building have evidently stirred up mice. We have found more mice droppings than ever before. They are eating up the strong poison, but still presenting a challenge.

   My boss came in Monday to find the bag of almonds on her desk - EMPTY! A 50 cent piece sized hole made it very clear the mice were there. Later during the day, a construction worker tore off a piece of paneling in a nearby office and started laughing. Here's what he found...guess they were getting ready for winter.
