That's not a mouse. It's a Chinese rat. We had a pair for pets when I was in grade school.

Story Time!
One year on RAGBRAI we were going through a county seat just east of Ames that I won't mention by name. It was the first stop of the morning so you would expect breakfast food, right? One guy on our team was from this town and he had a hand in some of the town's preparation so he told us we all HAD TO STOP for their breakfast burritos. Well we get into town and stop at the location he told us about. We asked if they still had breakfast burritos and they said, "We sure do, lot's of them!" So I bought a couple of them and was handed the nastiest gas station bean burritos you have ever tasted. They were "breakfast" burritos only in that they were served before noon.
Our buddy still hasn't lived that one down.
Well, maybe it added a little jet propulsion to your ride that day???
Are we going to have to argue with you about monkeys AND mice now?
Took @FriendlySpartan suggestion and started watching The Pitt on Max. Holy smokes this is incredibly well done. Easily one of my favorite shows in a long time.
Yup. I'm a stickler when it comes to identifying animals.
Just dropped $424 on new pads and rotors. That was with 20% off. Hopefully I can get that done tonight. The back ones first at least. The rear left started grinding on my way home from whitewater on Saturday.
Last month was almost $1000 for vacum pump for the brakes and some misc stuff and now today $800 for something with a turbo. God I hate vehicles.
Glad you like it! It’s not perfect by any means but as far as a TV adaptation goes is pretty accurate in most ways.
Heh...
Looking for five other couples to go in on a Jack Trice suite with us. Comes with twelve theater seats, four cushioned chairs - accomadates 22 peeps, but some have to stand, Also includes food & beverage, two flat screen TV's, two mini fridges, climate controlled heating & air, four reserved parking passes, a dedicated game host/hosess, and private in suite bathroom...
No idea how much it will cost, but I got a letter from the AD today...
Who's in?

Your seats last year were practically in the suites...
It would depend on the suite. the west side lower level suites would be fine but I couldn't do the press box suites. Too removed etc. Lower level you are still right in the action, can have the windows open and whatnot.
I wonder if you are if you can only open a window. We got endzone tickets for the Alamo Bowl. I didn't realize that our seats were well under the overhang. I hated it. It was a terrible atmosphere. I didn't even feel like I was at the live game because I was so sheltered from the rest of the stadium. I would like seats that were outside in front of the suite where you could sit but had the option of going inside if the weather was terrible - maybe even just going in during stoppages of play - but I don't think I would personally enjoy only having an open window rather than being out in the stadium.
I haven't ever been in a JTS suite, just going by what you posted above. I have been in a Target Center suite and I enjoyed sitting out in the open out in front of it, but didn't like being inside the suite during live action even with the glass front half open. They have changed their suites in the last decade so they don't have front glass - the suite is now totally open to the bowl. An improvement in my opinion but Target Center suiteholders don't have to deal with weather...
Several years ago we won an auction prize to have seats in Jamie Pollard's suite at JTS. It's in the endzone - the three rows of seats above the band are the front deck of the suite. Did not like. I don't like endzone seats because I can't see the action in the game unless I watch the big screen...and again, that's not really a great atmosphere (to me). These suites appear to be the ones along the west side, just above where our season tickets are. The windows open, but you are still inside the suite. That would be better than the suite we were in, and have a view almost as good as our seats, and the climate control would be nice. I'm just guessing it's a lot more money than I would want to spend.
Brakes suck. Didn't go as fast as I thought it would, ran out of daylight, will have to finish tomorrow.
There's this girl that comes in to the bar sometimes with a book and reads. No, she has ring on her finger. Interesting place to read with people talking and music playing.
